THERAPEUTIC ORIENTATION: Students in need of social, emotional, and academic structure and support. While officially not a therapeutic school, students are provided a safe, caring, and accepting environment, authentic connections with staff and peers, opportunities to be held accountable for their actions, a chance to feel success, and room to grow academically and personally. Access to community-based therapeutic services.

POPULATION SERVED: Students who have not found success in school due to a number of academic, social and emotional challenges including ADHD, low self-esteem, anxiety, low-level depression, executive function deficits, social struggles, loss, and/or adoption. They are often searching for meaning and purpose in their lives, and yearn for acceptance for who they genuinely are. Our students are often stepping down from a more therapeutic setting.
