Therapeutic Program Our clinicians have collaborated with the faculty to develop lessons that are integrated into each academic subject. To attain this, each student and faculty member is consulted in order to formulate effective lesson plans. In this process, group therapy goals are generated as well as individualized goals. The staff works with students to track the group goals which help to create a positive learning environment where students’ strengths are recognized, valued and given room to grow. Faculty helps each student track his/her own individual goals by working with teachers and their personal advisor to evaluate these goals on a daily basis. We believe that addressing the various social/emotional issues our students bring with them to school will free them to fully engage in the learning process. We are invested in creating a caring and safe community where students can learn, explore and become all they can be by providing them with a “failsafe” environment.
Hope Academy has made a commitment to its students to integrate a highly sophisticated therapeutic program into the academic school day. This focus on integrated therapy within the academic day enables our students to learn valuable life skills and helps the students be more emotionally available for learning.
