Yase Academy School of Excellence was established by Tameka and Raheem Pontiflet in 2024 with a vision to create an inclusive learning environment that serves students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). Motivated by their combined experience in education, law enforcement, and security, the Pontiflets recognized the need for a school that not only caters to academic success but also fosters personal growth and career readiness for students with unique learning needs. Their mission is to empower students to overcome challenges, discover their passions, and become leaders in their communities, ensuring that every child, regardless of their learning differences, has the opportunity to succeed.
