OREGON'S ONLY YEAR-ROUND SCHOOL FOR CHILDREN AND TEENS WITH AUTISM

ESTABLISHED 2009

  • Welcome to Victory Academy, Oregon’s only year-round, accredited school for children and teens affected by Autism

    We support our students as they form meaningful relationships, establish lifelong learning habits, and achieve independence.

  • Student-Centered Learning

    Victory teaches to the whole child - academics, language and communication, social/emotional skill development, self-determination - using innovative practices, research-based techniques, and person-centered planning.

  • Nurturing Environment

    Victory honors the dignity of all students, offering a loving and nurturing environment that marries the student’s natural affinities and interests with individualized educational instruction.

  • Differentiated Communication Systems

    Victory focuses on the development of functional communication systems for all, differentiating techniques to ensure an effective strategy for every student (expressive speech, written, augmentative and alternative devices, typing, and visual systems).

  • Meaningful Relationships with Others

    Victory fosters life-long meaningful relationships between students and their peers, families, teachers, community members, and employers through instruction of social skills and communication.

  • Sensory-Focused

    Victory believes that sensory regulation plays a key role in student success, and thus, creates an environment that considers each student’s sensory needs.

  • Critical Life Skills

    Victory promotes the development of daily living skills, executive functioning, and social cognition through evidence-based methods applied across numerous environments.

  • Community Partnerships

    Victory cultivates strong partnerships through community education, vocational opportunities, and recreational exploration in order to support students’ lifelong participation as active, productive members of their communities.

  • Victory for All

    Victory believes in the potential of every student and celebrates all achievements and victories.

Welcome

Victory Academy (Victory) is Oregon's only dedicated year-round private school, serving Oregon's children and teens affected by Autism. Victory is accredited through AdvancEd and approved by the Oregon Department of Education.

For the 2018-2019 school year, Victory is serving 80 students with Autism (age 4/Victory Prep Program through age 19/High School Program). In September 2015, at the opening of the new Victory Academy Campus, the school launched its high school program and now offers both modified and regular diplomas. Each are five-year programs.

Victory is the first school of its kind in the Greater Portland Metro Area to offer a comprehensive educational and therapeutic program to children affected by Autism. Specifically, Victory provides students with a customized academic plan, integrating proven, research-based therapeutic strategies into every learning task. The school is unique from the public school settings, as Victory offers year-round school at 7 hours per day and low student to teacher ratio (approximately 10:4).

In addition to its robust academic programs focusing on language arts (reading, writing, and listening), math, social studies, and science, Victory is proud to offer additional therapies and innovative courses, specifically designed to meet the learning profiles of students with Autism. These include: Applied behavior analysis, adapted physical education, art, augmentative communication, bell choir, choir, community based instruction, drama, fine and gross motor development/occupational therapy and physical therapy, fitness, peer mentors, recreation, rock band, sensory integration, social cognition, social skills groups, speech and language, transition services, and work experience.

Currently, there is no other model like this in Oregon.

Victory believes that all students affected by Autism can reach their fullest potential through an education based in both structure and playful engagement. Each child's particular strengths and challenges are constantly assessed to direct the child's teachers in selecting best practice teaching methodologies for the individual child. Moreover, Victory maintains that all students learn with greater ease when their natural interests and affinities are honored throughout the school day.
