students & families
Welcome to Yankton Arthur Academy Charter School!
I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all of our students, parents
and staff for choosing Arthur Academy. I have had two of my children go through
our programs. As a former parent, teacher and now principal at Arthur Academy, I
am grateful to be a part of this community where our staff is dedicated to our
students, families and teaching method.
As you explore our website you can read more about Direct Instruction (DI), the
teaching method our schools are founded on. We also offer PE and Art, along
with Social Emotional Learning.
Our teachers are dedicated to their students at YAA. They provide our students
with a positive atmosphere full of encouragement and success. Our school is
student-centered and every single decision we make is based on what is best for
them.
We work with our families and others to create partnerships to support our school
community. We have a parent group that continues to bring everyone together
whether it is a fun school event, a local volunteer job, or a fundraising project to
keep the needs of the students a top priority.
I look forward to working with our students, families and friends throughout the
school year. Please feel free to contact me at any time with questions about our
school.
Thank you for your support,
Ms. O’Brien
