A Haven for Individualized Learning
AMUP caters to students from grades 1 through 12 who require a more personalized approach to education. They understand that every child learns differently and possesses unique strengths and challenges. Their curriculum is specifically designed to address these individual needs, fostering a love of learning in a supportive environment.
Addressing Diverse Learning Needs
AMUP specializes in supporting students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), emotional disorders, and various learning disabilities such as dyslexia and dyscalculia. Their dedicated team of educators utilizes a multi-sensory approach that incorporates proven programs like Orton-Gillingham for reading, Touch Math and Saxon Math for numeracy, and a variety of engaging fine arts and college preparatory courses.
Fostering Potential Beyond Academics
AMUP's commitment extends beyond academics. They understand the importance of social-emotional development and offer programs designed to enhance communication skills, self-regulation strategies, and social interaction. The school also provides career and transitional education, preparing students for future opportunities, whether that be continuing education at a college or university, entering the workforce, or pursuing vocational training.
Small Class Sizes, Big Impact
AMUP boasts an impressive student-teacher ratio of 8:1, far lower than the national average for private schools (13:1 according to the National Center for Education Statistics). This allows for individualized attention and ensures that each student receives the support they need to thrive.
A Commitment to Community
AMUP is deeply embedded in the Bradenton community. They actively participate in local events and initiatives, fostering a sense of belonging and connection for their students. This commitment to community aligns perfectly with Liberty Savings Bank's own values. As a local financial institution, we believe in giving back to the communities we serve, and we are proud to support organizations like AMUP that make a positive impact on the lives of young people.
A Beacon of Hope
AMUP's dedication to its students is truly inspiring. They provide a safe haven for children who might otherwise struggle in traditional school settings. By fostering a culture of respect, understanding, and individualized learning, they empower students to overcome challenges, discover their strengths, and achieve academic success.
Investing in Our Future
Liberty Savings Bank recognizes that supporting educational institutions like AMUP is an investment in our future. A well-educated and empowered generation is essential for the continued growth and prosperity of our community. By providing students with the tools and resources they need to succeed, we are building a brighter tomorrow.
