What a great summer our transition students from Menta Academy Woodstock have had! This week, they tested the skills by going on a shopping trip to Walmart to practice social and consumer skills! They navigated the aisles, made purchases, and tried different payment methods. It was a great opportunity for them to build confidence in their abilities and learn important life skills. We're so proud of our students for taking on this challenge and showing their growing independence! #MentaAcademyWoodstockStudents #MentaAcademyWoodstock #TransitionSkills #MentaAcademy

We love our admins almost as much as they love our students. Yesterday’s Annual Admin Meeting and Retreat proved just that! Our staff spent the day planning the upcoming 2024-2025 school year, then had a blast at Game Show Battles in Lombard. They broke into teams and bonded through intense trivia and hilarious challenges. We are so lucky to have such an incredible team. The upcoming school year is just around the corner, and we are ecstatic! #TeamBonding #GameShowBattles #MentaMoments #FunAtWork #TeamBuilding

This Summer at Menta Academy Woodstock, we've been celebrating hiking as an incredible mode of transportation (and, of course, exercise)! Our classes embarked on exciting hiking trips, made delicious homemade trail mixes, and integrated this theme into our classroom curriculum. We love taking our lessons from the classroom to the great outdoors. Is there anything better in the Summer? #SummerSchool #HikingAdventures #OutdoorLearning #MentaAcademyWoodstock #SummerSchoolLessons #FromClassroomToTrail
