Cascade Academy

Frequently Asked Questions

Parents ask us these questions most often about academics, accommodations, and how treatment and school work together at Cascade Academy. Every answer below comes from the team that works with your daughter each day.

Are IEPs, 504 plans, and other accommodations honored at Cascade Academy?

Yes. We honor IEPs and 504 plans and implement each accommodation for your daughter. Teachers add further support where she needs it: verbal testing, notes for tests, and a reduced number of questions.

What if our school district funds the placement?

We hold regular IEP meetings with your daughter's school district and provide progress reports whenever the district requests them.

What if my daughter has a specific learning disability?

Teachers modify or adapt the curriculum to meet her needs. She also has access to one-on-one tutoring and individualized support.

What support will my daughter have in preparing for college?

We help with college searches, applications, and essays. She can take SAT and ACT prep courses and sit for both tests at a local high school.

Are career assessments available?

Yes. Career assessments are available to every student.

Are AP, honors, and college prep classes available?

Yes. We offer AP, honors, and college prep courses, plus online college courses for students who are ready for them.

My daughter struggles with executive functioning. What support do you offer?

Staff help her set goals, break tasks into steps, start her work, and use memory accommodations. Along the way, teachers model and teach the executive functioning skills behind each one.

Can my daughter test out of a course or unit?

Yes. Students who demonstrate mastery can test out of a course or unit.

My daughter is academically gifted. How will she be challenged?

AP and honors classes, online college courses, and a curriculum we customize together keep advanced students moving forward.

Does my daughter graduate from Utah or from our home state?

That depends on her transcript and her anticipated length of stay. We review both with your family and decide together. Our academics team coordinates home-state diploma requirements.
