Education
Education and earning school credit is a important part of our summer semester. Students have the opportunity to make up for lost time and get back on track with their schooling. Our low student to teacher ratio facilitates a highly interactive approach to teaching that promotes success and provides the students with a sense of confidence and achievement that may have been lacking.
Multifaceted Approach
An educational assessment and interdisciplinary teamwork as well as a psychological and emotionally supportive environment provide the structure needed to achieve identified educational goals. Research indicates that learning and academic performance is optimized when the body is in good physical condition and there is a balance of "brainwork" and physical activity. While academics and other cognitive activities typically take place in the mornings, afternoons are a time for physical engagement including a variety of therapeutic and recreational activities and sometimes even yard-work and landscape maintenance!
Other Learning Opportunities
Alongside the academic agenda learning takes place in the program in other formats as well. Teens are learning better and more helpful forms of communication, learning to solve problems, learning to work together as a team during skill building activities and fun initiative tasks and trust building exercises. Youth are also learning as they are participating in recreational activities such as sailing, wake boarding, camping and other outdoor-based activities.
Note:
Participation in academics and earning school credit is not a prerequisite for engagement our Summer Semester. It is not mandatory to engage in academics. Our Summer Semester is often chosen for the supervision and therapeutic benefit it provides independent of any academics. Please call us for details.
