ACADEMY FOR LEARNING - Dolton, IL
The Academy for Learning School
(AFL) is a public day school
designed to meet the educational
and therapeutic needs of
students not experiencing
success in their home high
schools due primarily to
behavioral/emotional problems.
Individual student behaviors
vary greatly, ranging from
aggression to withdrawal.
However, one thing remains
constant – failure to be
successful in the home school
environment. The AFL is part of
the ECHO Joint Agreement, which
serves 17 school districts.
Working together with the 17
district Superintendents, as
well as the administrative staff
of the AFL, JMA designed and
provided construction management
services to renovate a 50,000
square foot commercial building.
The building contains 28
classrooms, as well as
a gymnasium, a multipurpose
room/cafeteria with kitchen, an
inhouse detention area, a
vocational ed room, a life
skills lab and several
administrative offices and
conference rooms.
