About Us

We have evolved into a dynamic, responsive, multi-state education non-profit, operating numerous private and public / private partnership schools. The organization still firmly adheres to its policy to never give up on a child and that no student will be rejected, suspended, or expelled.

Our mission is “To provide innovative solutions to critical problems in education and human services.” We bring a framework of educational practices that have been designed and are supported through evidence based practices. Our collaborative process with various school and community stakeholders has resulted in programs designed to educate, support, challenge, empower and celebrate students who present with a range of academic, social and emotional needs. At the beginning of a student’s experience with us, a collaborative meeting is held that includes the student, significant people in their lives, our staff and other professionals as appropriate. During that meeting, a comprehensive assessment of the student’s past, present and future desires is used to establish a student centered plan (MAP) that serves as a foundation of the student’s programming. A guiding principle of us is ‘we do not give up’, while also holding our students and staff to high expectations. The educational offerings at our program provides students with a quality education that is designed to nurture and enhance the skills and maturity needed to meet the challenges of being productive adults and citizens in a rapidly changing 21st century world.
