Kids who feel more secure in a smaller school setting with a relaxed environment, calm passing periods, and a close knit and personal peer community
Students who want to make improvements in their academic performance and a fresh start
Students who benefit from a holistic system that will supports their developing cognitive and physical organizational skills, which lead to increased work completion
