Our Transitional programs:
• Employ the same curriculum and assessments that students are using in their home school
• Align to our school partner’s scope and sequence

• Keep students on track for promotion and graduation
• Ensure required course credit accumulation
• Provide skill development in leadership, positive peer relations, teamwork, and accountability

Our proven model integrates behavior and academics, creating an active and intentional positive normative culture focused on restorative practices, leadership, accountability, teamwork, and academic success.
We work closely with students, parents and our school partners to ensure that every student transitions back to their home school successfully as evidenced by:
