Hi,
we're Coast Karma Academy

Philosophy

Coast Karma Academy evolved organically to provide a supportive, neuro-affirming learning environment for ASD students. Our passionate educators and support staff are trained in philosophies aligned with Low Arousal Approaches, POPARD basic training, and empirically proven strategies.

 

They foster a joyful atmosphere, shaping behaviour through modelling, understanding, expertise, and heart while collaborating with our Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapist, and Speech-Language Pathologists to integrate teaching into the programs. Hands-on, motivating lessons are developed based on students' interests, promoting friendships, academic growth, and skills for lifelong independence and success.

Mission

Coast Karma Academy is committed to building an inspiring and inclusive learning platform where children grow academically, socially, and personally. Through a nurturing, empathetic, and collaborative environment, we aim to empower every learner to realize their full potential—now and into the future.

Vision

To create a safe and engaging environment which allows students to confidently reach their full potential in all aspects of life, recognizing and accommodating their sensory, cognitive, and social differences. 

"My child struggled to receive the support he needed to be successful in a public school classroom. Since switching to Coast Karma Academy, he has been much happier at school. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and affirming. They make sure his needs are being met so he is able to stay on track with his school work. Our family is so grateful to have found this unicorn of a school - thank you for everything you do, Coast Karma!"
