Admissions

Important: Siegel Academy is a therapeutic support school and does not issue diplomas. We help families find an accredited online school that fits their needs depending on their country. Our role is to provide therapy, emotional support, and enrichment while students pursue their diplomas elsewhere.

Our Students

At Siegel Academy, we see every student as an individual with unique strengths and challenges. We welcome learners ages 3 to 26, because we believe that the right support at any age can make a transformative difference.

• Students who are stable or in recovery and ready to engage with their education
• Students with mental health challenges who have struggled in traditional school settings
• The most important requirement: a genuine desire to get better and grow

We believe that with the right environment and support, every person can thrive academically while nurturing their mental health.

No Paperwork Required to Start

We don't require any documentation upfront. The admissions process is simply a series of conversations—first with the parent, then with the student, then together. We want to understand your situation and see if we can help. Bring whatever information is helpful to you, but there's no mandatory paperwork to begin.

Does Siegel Academy offer a high school diploma?

No, Siegel Academy is a therapeutic support school. We do not issue diplomas or academic transcripts. Students who need a diploma typically enroll in an accredited online school for their official academics while using Siegel Academy for therapy, enrichment, and support. We help families find an online school that fits their needs depending on their country.

When can a student start?

We offer rolling admissions, so students can start at any time. The admissions process typically takes 2-3 weeks from initial inquiry to enrollment.

What if the student doesn't have a formal diagnosis?

A formal diagnosis is not required. We understand that some individuals are still in the process of getting evaluations, and others may never pursue formal diagnosis. We can discuss your situation during our conversations and focus on what the student actually needs.

Can students continue with their outside therapist?

Yes! We encourage students to maintain relationships with existing providers. Our team will coordinate with outside therapists to ensure consistent, comprehensive care.

What are the school hours?

Hours vary depending on the student's location and needs. We work with students around the world and create flexible schedules that fit each family's situation. During our initial conversations, we'll discuss what timing works best for you.
