Interview with Nathan Palmer CEO of Polaris Academy - Part 2

In Part 2, Brad sits back down with Nathan, CEO of Polaris Academy, to unpack how Polaris went from a blank slate to a living model for a blended environment where therapy and academics work together. They talk about hiring for heart and skill, bringing on people who believed in the vision before it was popular, and why no other school was doing what Polaris set out to do. Nathan shares how the team built new frameworks for autistic learners when the old playbooks came up short, and how the right people made the difference between a concept and a school that changes lives.

What you’ll hear:

• The early startup phase and what it took to get Polaris off the ground
• Finding the right people who had faith in a blended approach
• How therapy and academics were integrated from day one
• Operating with a blank slate and creating systems that did not exist yet
• Why Polaris is pushing education for autism into a new framework

Perfect for parents, educators, and clinicians who want a behind-the-scenes look at building a school that serves autistic learners in the way they deserve.
