The Alternative School Education for High School-Aged Students with Emotional Issues

Who Do We Teach? Students age 14 and up with emotional disturbances which prevent them from finding success in mainstream schooling.

Who are We Trying to Help?  We provide an alternative learning environment for our students  We aim to provide information and support for the parents or guardians of our students so that they can continue to support them at home  We serve as a resource for mainstream schools who are having difficulty educating students with emotional disturbances  We help prepare our students to become active and positive assets to their communities.

The Administration Our administration would be a school board consisting of parents, special and regular education teachers, therapists, M.D.s and student representatives that all work together for the common good of our students.

Our Community Our school would be most successful in an area that provided access to a variety of settings from the city to the woods so that we can appeal to as many students interests and needs as possible while providing a safe and calming environment for their scholastic success.
