Chill Spa (Calming Sensory Space)

Full Circle Academy (FCA) is the first private elementary school for kids with special needs in Fargo, ND! My sisters and I started FCA in 2020 and received the 501c(3) approval the summer of 2022. FCA has a teacher on staff and we work in partnership with our sister company, Full Circle Pediatric Solutions, to provide the therapeutic services required to meet our students’ needs.

Mission Statement: To empower our students and their families to achieve lasting, positive, change in each of their lives: socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually.

As a newer nonprofit, we are working hard to launch our program and make it more accessible to the community! We offer a therapeutic learning environment and all of our educational programming is individualized to meet the student's unique needs. We serve some of the most complex learners who are struggling in the public school system and accept students with a variety of disabilities: autism, intellectual disabilities, emotional disabilities, down syndrome, etc. Many of our students are staffed 1:1 with an adult or 2:1 with two adults. Due to the wide-range of students we serve, from nonverbal students with intellectual disabilities to gifted and talented students who greatly struggle with social/emotional skills, we have an ongoing need to acquire materials and resources that match the students' learning profile.

Our students would be overjoyed if we could create a "Chill Spa" to help them regulate their emotions throughout the day!
