Middle School
Our middle schools are provided a curriculum focusing on developing the child’s sense of self-awareness, and understanding their emotions. We understand that this age range is a difficult times for our kids, and we want to support them by allowing them the ability to express themselves and have a safe space without judgement. Our activities focus on positive-self talk, mindfulness, and emotional regulation.

Along with developing self-esteem and emotional regulation, our high schoolers are provided exposure and experience along with panels and group discussions to advance their career/life-skills.
