It is common for students to make more than one year's growth in academic areas with which they have struggled in other settings. Our core curriculum is enhanced with offerings in the areas of fine arts, athletics, service learning, technology, compensatory learning skills, social skills development, and specific writing classes. Teaching methods are supplemented with curricular modifications and learning accommodations as needed. We help students develop a sense of belonging, which may be their first experience at a nurturing learning environment.%A0 Our committed staff members develop rapport, create a sense of community, and offer a safe environment in which students can reach greater heights. |
