OUR STORY

We Understand From Personal Experience

My name is Mrs. Barbara Almaguer Escalona and I am the founder/director of All Stars Education Academy. During the past 20 plus years, I have worn many hats  in education an

My passion for education began over 25 years ago when my oldest daughter, Krystal, was diagnosed with Autism. With limited resources and the lack of information at the time, I was forced to become Krystal’s advocate and fight for the education she both needed and deserved. As I searched for the perfect learning environment for her, I realized that the key to Krystal’s success was developing an education that would motivate and challenge her, giving her the freedom and flexibility to learn at her own pace. Only then did I see huge improvements in Krystal’s academic, personal, and social development. In 2017, Krystal did what most people believed she couldn’t and graduated from Florida International University with her Bachelor’s degree. She became a certified Florida Math Teacher and has successfully worked with students from elementary to college ever since.

My children, along with the many other students I have worked with, inspired me to leave the public school system behind and open my own vision of the perfect learning center. A place that promotes the development of the whole individual, focusing not only on academics but also on emotional and social growth.

…and that is how All Stars Education Academy came to be.

Throughout my journey, the one evident thing to me was that all students WANT TO LEARN, and they CAN BE SUCCESSFUL when they are treated AS INDIVIDUALS and not measured by equal standards. Years of experience and proven success stories have shown me that the best way to teach a student is to find the unique way in which they learn. Understanding, motivating and empowering a student is the driving force  to academic success and personal maturity; two important components that can only be found when you step away from a traditional school setting and into in an ALTERNATIVE, FLEXIBLE, and RELAXED educational program such as the one you will experience at ASEA.
