FULL-YEAR PERSONALIZED HOMESCHOOLING • BROOKLYN, NEW YORK
Different minds deserve learning built with them in mind.
Weems-Rosenduft Academy is a complete, individualized school-year program for children on the autism spectrum and with ADHD. Four quarterly learning journeys connect New York learning standards with trusted online programs, hardcopy materials, hands-on projects, real-life skills, career exploration and confidence-building activities. Students see manageable next steps while instructors receive the plans, tools, resources and evidence systems needed to support the entire year.
A curriculum that grows with both students and instructors.
Each quarter builds academic progress, independence and confidence without placing the weight of the entire school year on the screen at once.

Created by Jestina Weems-Rosenduft
As a homeschooling mother, creative educator and parent who understands neurodivergence personally, Jestina built the Academy around the truth that education has to fit real family life—not fight against it.
The platform integrates academics with changing schedules, appointments, travel, family responsibilities, online learning, physical materials, creative work and each learner’s individual needs. It turns a complete school year into clear quarterly journeys that build skills, independence and confidence without overwhelming students or instructors.
“The goal is not simply to finish assignments. It is to help each child understand how they learn, believe in what they can do, and use those skills in real life.”
School should point toward a future.
Learners investigate the work, benefits, risks, training, education and practical steps behind possible careers.
