Behavioral skills — Students who’ve experienced trauma or an unsettled home life can struggle with anger, disappointment or frustration. We teach students to recognize behavioral patterns and manage negative thoughts and actions more effectively.

Educational skills — Our students learn how to learn. We teach self-discipline, self-motivation and accountability. Developing these skills in middle school helps our students reach their full potential, in high school, college and adulthood.

Social skills — Peers can have a greater impact on the way young people develop than parents, guardians or teachers. Our students learn how to conduct themselves to form positive relationships with peers, parents, teachers and other authority figures.

Transitional skills — Adolescence is only the first major transition our students will face in their lifetimes. We help them learn to manage change, to set goals and make progress — in school, their careers and their personal lives.
