We are a small alternative school providing creative and positive supports to youth with severe trauma. Our approach to education is centered around providing open, caring, and proactive educational and vocational opportunities to young people who often struggle with the day-to-day necessities of life.

We believe in treating every student with dignity and respect, listening to their needs, and collaborating with them to make plans to achieve outcomes that are important to them. We have very real and very frank conversations that can sometimes be difficult, but we believe that these conversations are necessary for the identification of meaningful outcomes and the development of academic and personal success.

We teach students how to manage themselves, to work on projects and activities that they find useful and interesting, and to integrate these projects into the daily school routines. We are proactive in our approach, focusing on prevention and early intervention to address the needs of our students.

We are a small program with a team of clinical and educational staff who are dedicated to providing high-quality support to our students. We are committed to creating a safe and supportive environment that allows our students to thrive.
