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
