Our mission is to empower students with learning disabilities to maximize their potential in a positive therapeutic educational environment.

Public Charter, Tuition Free Learning Disabilities Schools

Established in 1999, Pepin Academies are 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit, tuition-free, public charter schools that serve students with specific learning and learning-related disabilities. We educate students in 3rd through 12th grade and also offer a transitional, job training program for students 18 to 22 years old. Pepin Academies are considered ESE Center schools. We feature a nurturing environment that focuses on improving the academic and social success of students. All students have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of extra-curricular activities and educational opportunities such as athletics, performing arts, clubs and career and technical education.
