Subway Academy 1 features a wide range of subjects held in small classes in a welcoming environment. Our program is best suited to those who have established some foundational skills at the applied and academic levels; nevertheless, students entering our program with few credits are often able to build these skills through hard work and the assistance of encouraging staff. We provide regular classroom instruction four times a week for 60 minute per class and an additional 30 minutes per class support. Students are also expected to independently complete course components on-line for approximately 2 hours per course per week.We are accustomed to working with young people in crisis and encourage parental/guardian involvement.
Warm and Caring
The small school environment provides warmth and concern, which enriches student/teacher relations, student confidence and a sense of belonging. Our small class sizes makes a big difference to the personal attention you receive. Class size ranges from 18 to 22 students, to some classes as small as 5 or 6 students. With a dedicated and committed teaching staff, we have developed great relationships with our students.

Mentoring Program
Helping students achieve success is our mission. For some students, failing to attend classes can hinder their ability to realize what they are capable of achieving. We are a semestered school where you can take up to four courses each semester to accommodate other responsibilities you may have in your life. You will receive the attention you need to succeed. We give you ongoing support and mentorship.
