Meet Joey and Thomas, two remarkable students at Lionsgate Academy. Although their paths getting to LGA are vastly different, their stories echo the same sentiment; it’s difficult for students on the autism spectrum in most public schools. Enter Lionsgate Academy, a public charter school that serves students from grades 7-12. It’s a safe environment that fosters not only a quality education; it also focuses on social skills which will help students navigate everyday situations that most people take for granted.
