News from the Eagle's Nest

As we begin spring semester 2011 and plan for 2011-2012 school year we look forward to working with districts, parents, students and educators.   We continue to innovate and grow to serve you better.

The expansion of our vocational education program including our Career Education Center and our new automotive program will continue to make us the leader in Special Education programming.

About Us

Joseph Academy is a school serving the needs of young people with severe behavioral, emotional, and learning disabilities. Our program strives to give hope to our students to become successful in their learning environment.

Joseph Academy provides an environment that is both nurturing and challenging.  We seek to build students’ self-esteem and productivity through a therapeutic program in which staff members constantly express respect and affection for them.

"We are regarded as the 'go-to' school by Lake, Cook and DuPage Counties.  We are the specialist.”

-Michael Schack, Executive Director
