Is Your Child Getting the Support They Need?

When your child isn’t thriving in traditional school, it can feel isolating and disheartening. You see their potential, but you see their struggles – and you’re unsure where to turn next. You don’t have to figure it out alone.

At Mainspring, families can count on:

A quality, individualized education experience

Compassionate teachers in the classroom

Noticeable progress and growth

A Partner in Your Child’s Education

You deserve a committed, qualified, and compassionate partner in your child's education.

At Mainspring Academy, families find more than a school – they find a partner. Many families come to us after difficult school experiences – we’re here to bring clarity, stability, and a path forward. Our educators, therapists, and behavior specialists meet each student where they are and design an individualized path forward. We focus on real progress in academics, communication, behavior, independence, and daily living skills – so every child can reach their full potential.

"It's truly a blessing to have this school in Jacksonville. Our child has flourished and we couldn't be happier. The staff is extremely well educated and caring. I recommend this school for any parent of a special needs child."

Kara Golby

"The Mainspring staff dedicated so much time in getting to know my son. With their dedication, they found ways to help him cope with challenges in positive ways. Thanks to their individualized learning plan, he has made significant advancements, both academically and socially. The teachers are very detailed with communication and are always at reach. My son enjoys his school and looks forward to school days."

The Plan

1

School Tour

Visit campus and see classrooms in action. Tours are welcoming and informative, with plenty of time to ask questions and learn how Mainspring supports students with different needs.

2

Student Observation & Records Review

If Mainspring may be a possible match, an on-campus student observation and parent interview may be scheduled to better understand your child’s needs and determine program fit. The next step is a review of relevant records (such as an IEP, evaluations, and reports). 

3

Enrollment & Next Steps

If Mainspring is able to meet your child’s needs and an opening is available, the team will guide your family through enrollment and next steps in a clear, supportive way.

Questions are always welcome – we’re happy to help you explore. Admissions Process: What to Expect.
