Our Values

When students enter our program, they arrive with varying degrees of openness to instruction, mindfulness, and ability to be part of school community. We meet that student where they are in their current level of both academic and social-emotional functioning and challenge them, through modeling and support, to form relationships, practice self-regulation, be self-aware, and to practice resilience.
