Children's Center for Treatment and Education

The majority of our alternative education classes consist of around 12 to 15 students. Students work on developing skill sets that will help them learn new, and improve existing study habits. Teachers spend additional time working one on one with students as needed. Alternative Education programs also feature Math, Reading, and Technology labs. Additionally, each classroom is staffed with an educational aide to provide academic support. Just like in the group homes, students receive a daily score, which is tied directly to their level of privelges both at school and at the group home.
