Education Services
Our CHOR Day Academy offers educational services for children who live in the surrounding communities and have behavioral issues, varied educational needs, an Individualized Education Plan, and are referred by their home school district.
The other school programs in Reading and Doylestown serve our residential clients who cannot attend a local districts, so that their educational needs are met with the support of extra aides and smaller class sizes.
Many of our students qualify for the National School Lunch Program throughout the year to help address food insecurity and make sure that children are eating healthy foods. Studies show that eating a well-balanced diet fuels their learning.
Once school is out for the summer, children can count on the Seamless Summer Food Program offered by local school districts.
Supporting documents for the National School Lunch Program are listed at the bottom of this page.

CHOR Day Academy
CHOR Day Academy is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education as a private academic school.
The academy serves children grades five through twelve who have special and alternative education needs that can be better met in an alternative setting.
Local school districts, guidance counselors, and parents may refer children with IEPs to CHOR Day Academy.
Working as a team to support the student, our goal is to provide students with a well-balanced educational and therapeutic program to move them toward academic success, and to help students bridge educational “gaps” while working toward the completion of required credits for the school year.
The education team is comprised of special education teachers, a certified reading specialist, teachers aids, and behavioral support staff.
The school days run from 8:30 AM to 2:00 PM and provides instruction in major subjects of language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. Students also receive career counseling, health education, and technology instruction. The student’s home school district is involved in the Individualized Education Plan (IEP) and the Evaluation Report (ER) as part of compliance with federal and state laws. Our staff communicates with the student’s school district to assure proper school credits and a smooth transition of students back into the home school district.
