“Maple Lake treats its students as individuals, not as diagnoses. We were respected for who we were and who we could become, rather than who we had been before.”

“My experiences at Maple Lake Academy have changed the direction of my family. The staff and the school provided a loving, homey and safe environment for my student. In this atmosphere my daughter learned the skills on how to understand and cope with her autism disorder. I feel the environment provided at Maple Lake Academy was crucial in allowing my student to grow into the independent young woman she is today.
