Our admissions philosophy

LINKS offers rolling admissions throughout the school year as space allows. Because we keep class sizes intentionally small and programming individualized, decisions are based on whether our educational model is the right fit for each student.

We serve students with a wide range of neurodiverse learning profiles, including autism, ADHD, dyslexia, executive functioning challenges, anxiety and a variety of genetic disorders. Every application is reviewed holistically, recognizing each child's strengths, interests and support needs.

Our goal is simple: every student who joins LINKS should experience meaningful academic growth, increased independence and genuine belonging.

Designed to make sure we can provide the individualized support your child needs for long-term success.

Frequently asked questions

How much is tuition?

Please contact us to learn more about our programs and fees.

Are you an NPS?

We do not currently have Non Public School certification, but we do have students privately placed at our school by school districts. Contact us for more information.

Do you offer speech and occupational therapy?

Yes. Individual speech and OT therapists travel to our campus and collaborate with our team. Additional fees apply for these services.

Do you offer ABA services?

Yes. We have partnered with ABA LA to provide ABA services at LINKS, with supervision and in-classroom support provided by a BCBA.

Our goal is five students to one teacher, with classroom aides supporting as needed. As we grow, we will continue to add staff.
