About Us
EPIC Academy, located at 615 Degraw Street in New York, United States, is a K-5 school that offers a unique and transformative educational experience for students with challenges such as physical aggression, oppositional defiance, and anxiety. Our trauma-informed approach to therapeutic education, combined with rigorous academics, helps students thrive and change their life trajectories.
Parents have shared their positive experiences, noting the growth they have seen in their children's ability to be flexible, tolerate frustration, and identify emotions. Students at EPIC receive social and emotional support, allowing them to thrive both academically and emotionally.
The school is fully enrolled for the 2023-2024 academic year, with newly incoming applicants being placed on a waitlist. EPIC Academy empowers families to advocate for their children's needs and seek reimbursement from the Department of Education for tuition costs.
At EPIC, data is used in a different way, focusing on ensuring each unique student is set up for success. The school's history of reimbursement dates back to the 1960s, when parents fought for the right to public education for children with special needs. EPIC Academy is a place where students can truly thrive and learn in a supportive and empowering environment.

"EPIC is an exceptional school that celebrates every child's uniqueness with compassion. My son feels so valued and successful (socially and academically) there. He truly feels confident that the staff have got his back and are always there to help. He has forged friendships with other students and has gained a wonderful sense of empathy and being a team player. Other schools have failed to support him in this comprehensive way, and we feel so very fortunate to have found EPIC."
"“Epic has been a game changer for our family. It's the only place we found (and we looked!) where they had the thoughtful supports in place to allow our kid to really thrive and learn! Before, so much of school was trying to just get her through the day without too much harm, education itself was an afterthought. Now, she loves going to school, feels safe and is making tremendous progress both academically and emotionally. Epic is a truly fantastic place and our whole family feels supported- we love the progressive tailored academics and their approach to meeting the kid where they are at. It really works!”"
"This is such an amazing school! The teachers and staff all do such a great job and make this school such a fantastic place for the kids to learn! The faculty are all extremely dedicated and provide such a high quality of education!"
"This school is amazing! Their approach is different from any other school I’ve seen before. Their individualized approach and integrated social-emotional curriculum puts this school above all others. I cannot recommend EPIC Academy strongly enough!"
