COVID-19 Resources
Doane Academy continues to closely monitor the developments of COVID-19. Please continue to check your email regularly for updates regarding the school's response.

The uncertainty and continually evolving nature of this situation can be stressful. We want to provide you with resources to help you and your family stay up-to-date with the latest developments, guidance on how to talk with your children about COVID-19, and steps you can take to help mitigate the spread:

Health and Wellness
At Doane Academy, we know that achievement and fulfillment are inextricably tied to issues of health and wellness. Students can only reach their unique potential if they are surrounded with the kind of love and support that allow them to feel valued, safe, and resilient.
Through the advisor program, curriculum, and learning services, Doane guides students from the Primary program to the senior class to make wise choices regarding issues of mental health, conflict management, peer pressure, social media use and digital citizenship, stress, sleep, nutrition, exercise, substance use and abuse, bullying, and sexuality. Seniors graduate prepared not only for the academic rigor of college but also for living a healthy and balanced lifestyle.
School Counselors
Learning Specialists
Doane provides students who may need additional academic assistance with several important resources. We have on-campus access to both a reading specialist and a speech therapist who consult with faculty members and division heads to recognize students in need of support in these areas. In addition, a tutor works one-on-one with students having specific challenges in a given subject or set of subjects. These specialists, along with of Doane’s faculty and staff, work together to craft Individualized Education Programs for students who learn differently from their peers, and the school updates these plans with student specific goals yearly so that each applicable student develops an increasingly positive sense of ownership over their learning process.
