Daily Schedule and Student Expectations

Our Philosophy

We believe all students are unique individuals who can learn. We also believe students:

• Deserve a safe, caring environment in which to learn.
• Require skills to be productive, including reading, writing, math, and computer skills.
• Must value learning and education as the key to personal and economic success.
• Must learn and practice self-motivation and self-management to have a successful life.
• Will realize their potential when expectations for success are high.

School Schedule

Students are given a start time and expected to be at school for enough time each day to complete the performance goal they have set for the semester. Depending on the goal, some students attend all day; others might only attend a few hours. Student’s start time will be determined during admissions. The end time each school day depends on how long it takes a student to complete the required assignments for the day.

Typical school hours

• Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday 8:30 am – 3:00 pm
• Wednesday 8:30 am – 1:30 pm
