As a private, non-public charter school, our elementary educational curriculum meets the Ohio Department of Education standards. The program maintains a 1:12 teacher-to-student ratio. Each student has an educational plan that identifies areas that require remediation, as well as areas of competence. Upon admission, testing establishes baseline data on basic competency in the areas of math, spelling, and reading; post-testing occurs at discharge. The educational staff maintains contact with each student’s home district. Title 1 tutoring is offered to youth who are enrolled from the Columbus City School District.
Students attend a six-hour program day with instruction provided in group and individualized formats. Individual, group, and family therapy are also provided throughout the school day. Due to the high acuity of student behaviors, we provide 24-hour crisis services to support families and youth in managing mental health symptoms and behaviors.
Our Upper School program integrates education and intensive mental health treatment for middle and high school students and their families to reduce barriers to learning and education. We provide mental health treatment to reduce symptoms of mental health and advance academically. Students receive 15 hours of individual and group therapy each week.
