McAdams Academy
Embracing and Educating Society's Neglected Kids Our students are moderate to high-risk in middle school and high school.
McAdams Academy is an alternative, community-based, trauma-informed behavioral program that uses a classroom format located in Wichita, KS. They do not have access to a structured learning environment because they are expelled, suspended, or in the foster care system without permanent placement. At McAdams, students earn high school credits, including electives, while working on problem behavior.

Academics, behavior, and community are all important pieces of education in our program. The second session of summer school concluded last week at McAdams. One of our students entered summer school just 1.5 credits shy of graduating and he was able to complete all of the necessary coursework in just under a week! We applaud him and all of his hard work! 👏 The 2024-2025 school year begins on September 3rd.
McAdams Academy wouldn’t be the same without our amazing volunteer team! They are always ready to lend a helping hand wherever needed and it truly makes a difference in the flow of events and our daily rhythms in the building, but most importantly, the lives of our students. THANK YOU MCADAMS VOLUNTEERS! 💜💛

Due to school expulsions, suspensions, and youth in foster care without a permanent placement, some children can go all year without attending school. Not attending school decreases knowledge and increases poverty. McAdams believes that regardless of a child’s behavior, their education should not be disrupted!

Our Executive Director, Chuck, founded McAdams in 2014 when he could no longer ignore a gaping chasm that kids in our community who were expelled, suspended, or in foster care waiting for placement were falling through. One conversation with him, and his heart for the underserved in our city is evident. Chuck was born and raised in Wichita and has been married to his high school sweetheart for 47 years with whom he has five children, one foster child, and 14 grandkids. We’re incredibly grateful for his leadership and devotion to McAdams! Happy Birthday, Chuck! 🎊
Fun Fact Friday! 💡Among other things that make McAdams Academy unique is our small student-to-teacher ratio. Five to one! This ensures that our students have academic help readily available. A big thanks to our teachers for their devotion to our students and their success!
Enjoy the weekend, Wichita!
