Coral Reef Academy

❤️ THANK YOU TO OUR KING OF THE WING COMMUNITY! ❤️

As we count down to this year's King of the Wing, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who is participating, sponsoring, volunteering, competing, attending, and cheering from the sidelines.

Your support is about so much more than great food, music, and fun. Every ticket purchased, every wing enjoyed, and every contribution made directly supports the students of Coral Reef Academy—helping provide specialized education, therapeutic support, and life-changing opportunities for children with autism, ADHD, developmental disabilities, and other unique learning needs across the Virgin Islands.

Because of you, our students have access to the tools, resources, and compassionate support they need to learn, grow, and thrive.

Thank you to the incredible King of the Wing team for selecting Coral Reef Academy as this year's beneficiary and for investing in our students' future. We are deeply grateful for this community and the difference you are making in the lives of children and families every day.

We can't wait to celebrate with all of you at Magens Bay on June 13! 🍗☀️🌴

After an incredible journey with Coral Reef Academy, Dr. Jody Miller will be stepping down from her role as Director. "Serving our students, families, staff, and community has been one of the greatest honors of my career, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity."-Dr. Miller

We are excited to introduce Jasmine Dialida as the next Director of Coral Reef Academy. She brings a passion for students and a commitment to our mission, and I know the school is in excellent hands.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Coral Reef Academy over the years. We look forward to cheering on the continued success of this amazing community.

See Ms. Dialida's bio below!

Jasmine Dailida brings over a decade of experience in special education, school leadership, and program development to her role as Director of Coral Reef Academy. Her career spans early childhood through middle school, with deep roots in both general and special education settings — including teaching students with emotional and behavioral needs, supporting gifted and twice-exceptional learners, and leading multi-site programs centered on individualized, strengths-based instruction.

Prior to joining Coral Reef Academy, Jasmine served as Lead Gifted Kindergarten Teacher and Diversity Leadership Council Member at Open Window School in Bellevue, Washington, and held director-level roles at Denise Louie Education Center and Cedar Crest Academy. She also served as Founding Director of Radiance Learning, a gifted-focused early childhood program built on play-based, inquiry-driven curriculum. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, she acquired a FIT4MOM franchise in Bellevue, rebuilding it into a thriving community organization. Early in her career, she was shaped by the whole-child development philosophy of Harlem Children’s Zone (Harlem, NYC), where she taught 4th grade — a model that deeply informs her belief that truly serving a child means supporting the whole family and community around them.

Jasmine holds a Master of Science in Childhood Education (General and Special Education) from New York University, a Bachelor of Arts in Education from California State University Channel Islands, and a Certificate in School Management and Leadership from Harvard Business School Online. She is also an alumna of the Northwest Association of Independent Schools Emerging Leaders Institute.

As both an educator and the parent of a twice-exceptional child, Jasmine brings professional expertise and lived experience to the work of supporting students with diverse learning needs and their families. She leads with a deep belief in the power of community — guided by the African proverb she holds close: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” She is committed to building inclusive school cultures where every child is seen, supported, and able to thrive — not in isolation, but in community.

Jasmine is relocating with her family to St. Croix and is honored to join the Coral Reef Academy community

"The true measure of this year is not found in grades or test scores, but in the confidence gained, the challenges overcome, and the joy our students discovered in themselves along the way."

This year, we witnessed moments that may seem small to others but were monumental for our students. We celebrated first words, new friendships, increased independence, academic breakthroughs, successful transitions, improved communication, and countless examples of courage and perseverance.

Every student who walks through our doors has a unique journey. Some arrived needing significant support to navigate their day, while others were working toward academic goals, social skills, or greater independence. No matter where they started, each student made meaningful progress—and that is worth celebrating.

We are especially proud of our students for showing resilience, determination, and growth. They have taught us that success is not measured by comparison to others, but by the courage to take the next step forward.

To our dedicated staff: thank you for your unwavering commitment, patience, expertise, and love. You create environments where students feel safe, valued, and capable of achieving more than they ever thought possible.

To our families: thank you for trusting us with your children and partnering with us every step of the way. Their successes are your successes, too.

As we look back on this year, we celebrate every milestone, every challenge overcome, every smile, and every achievement. Together, we are building futures filled with opportunity, confidence, and hope.

Congratulations to all of our students on an amazing year. We cannot wait to see what you accomplish next.

❤️ With gratitude,
The Coral Reef Academy Team

Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. From all of us at Coral Reef Academy, we extend our deepest gratitude to those who served and gave all. 🇺🇸❤️
