about referrals

Discover the Alamance Academy Day Difference

Alamance Academy Day (AAD) welcomes referrals from families, schools, clinicians, care coordinators, and community partners seeking a supportive, structured educational setting for middle school boys. Our nonprofit microschool is designed for boys in grades 5–8 who are struggling to thrive in traditional environments and who benefit from small class sizes, individualized academic instruction, and embedded counseling support. We work collaboratively with referring partners and families to determine program fit, coordinate with existing services, and support students’ academic, emotional, and social growth. Completion of a referral form begins a thoughtful intake process focused on alignment between student needs and our school-based support model.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please email Virgilla at virgilla@alamanceacademyday, if you cannot find an answer to your question below or with any additional questions you may have.

What grades does Alamance Academy Day serve?

Alamance Academy Day serves boys in grades 5-8.

What does a typical referral look like?

Most referrals come from school staff, clinicians, or DSS/DJJ partners who see a student struggling in a traditional setting. We start with a referral form, followed by a conversation with the family and referring partner to assess fit and support needs.

Do you accept court-ordered placements?

We’re not a treatment facility or court-ordered placement program, but we regularly collaborate with DJJ- and DSS-involved youth when education stability is the goal and the placement is appropriate.

Do you replace therapy?

No. We complement outside therapy. Students may continue with external clinicians, and we coordinate as appropriate with consent.

How do you handle safety concerns?

Safety is part of our intake review. We assess whether a student’s needs can be supported in a school-based setting. If a student requires a higher level of care, we’ll say so and help redirect the referral.

What happens if a student outgrows the program?

That’s a success. We support transitions back to larger schools, alternative placements, or next-step programs when students are ready.

Do you have a nondiscrimination policy?

Yes.

Alamance Academy Day (AAD), a program of Servant Leadership Alliance for Young Empowered Disciples, Inc., does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, ethnic origin, disability, age, or any other status protected by applicable federal, state, or local law in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and financial assistance programs, employment practices, or school-administered programs and activities. AAD is committed to fostering a safe, respectful, and supportive learning environment where every student is valued, encouraged, and given the opportunity to grow academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.

Questions regarding this policy may be directed to the Director/Head of School at Alamance Academy Day.
