McADAMS ACADEMY

McAdams Academy is an alternative community-based, trauma-informed school located in Wichita, KS. Our students are moderate to high-risk in middle school and high school. 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.

As schools struggle with how to handle problem behavior in the classroom, student expulsions have become the most used disciplinary action across the nation.
