For families navigating choosing a school for their child with autism, the right school goes far beyond academics. It’s about trust, connection, and support. For one San Antonio family, that search led them to a place that offered education and transformation: Foundation School for Autism – San Antonio.
“From the moment we visited, we knew this school was something special,” shared parent Juliet Arredondo. “It was clear the staff genuinely cared about each student and were passionate about helping them thrive in the classroom. For the first time, we felt seen as parents.”
Their decision to switch schools was after their oldest son’s experience in a traditional public school left them feeling disconnected and unsupported. At Foundation School, the experience was different from day one.
“From day one, they welcomed questions, conversations were open, and the focus was entirely on the students,” Juliet recalled. “We dropped our son off, and the staff already greeted him by name. He smiled—and we knew we made the right choice.”
As their children began attending, the growth was immediate and undeniable. The smaller class sizes, thoughtful teacher-to-student ratios, and personalized attention made a lasting impact. Their eldest son, Nikoli, discovered a love for learning and thrived in the school’s hands-on, supportive environment. Seeing his progress, the Arredondos, without hesitation, enrolled their youngest son, Nario. He too quickly began hitting milestones
thanks to the consistent and collaborative support of the staff.
“There’s simply no comparison to other educational options,” Juliet said. “Both of our children have grown tremendously, and we wholeheartedly believe it’s because of the compassion and innovative teaching methods used here.”
The support extended beyond the classroom. As parents, the Arredondos felt fully embraced by the school community—from regular updates to parenting workshops, the school became a partner in their journey.“We’ve felt nothing but support, not just for our kids, but for us as parents,” they shared.
“Foundation School has been so much more than we ever expected. From the administration to the teachers, every person there has made an impact, not just on our children but on every student who walks through those doors. This campus is more than a school. It’s a family.”
Foundation School for Autism is located in San Antonio and Plano, Texas. To learn more about the unique opportunities Foundation School for Autism – San Antonio provides its students or to apply, visit foundationschool.net.
