About

About ATG Learning Academy

ATG Learning Academy is a K-12 private school in the heart of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, serving students of all backgrounds and abilities since 2005.

We believe all students have the potential to become successful, confident learners when educators apply the right methods. At ATG, students who once struggled in a traditional school setting receive personal attention and individualized education plans that fit their unique learning needs.

Our Mission

We strive to clear a path for students of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities to pursue academic success, gain independence, and contribute their unique gifts to our community and the world.

OUR HISTORY

In 2005, educators from a tutoring center in Bucks County saw a need to improve educational opportunities for students with learning differences. ATG Learning Academy received its license in October of that year.

Over the next decade, the school’s academic offerings grew, and so did its student population. In early 2019, ATG moved to a historic schoolhouse in Chalfont, PA.

In today’s changing world, ATG has realigned its mission to work with individuals of all ages. For early learners we offer a prekindergarten program that set students up for kindergarten success. For school aged children we offer academic and cognitive therapy classes. For adults we offer Arrowsmith, our cognitive therapy program.
