Gwinnett InterVention Education (GIVE) Center East

Gwinnett InterVention Education (GIVE) Center East, located in Lawrenceville, Georgia, functions as an alternative education program within the Gwinnett County Public School system. The center is designed to provide a structured, supportive environment for students who have faced challenges in traditional school settings, whether due to behavioral issues, academic difficulties, or the need for a non-traditional path to graduation. By offering smaller class sizes and a more focused curriculum, the school aims to help students regain academic standing, improve their decision-making skills, and prepare for a successful return to their home school or transition toward post-secondary goals.

The philosophy of GIVE Center East centers on personal accountability, restorative practices, and individualized attention. Faculty and staff prioritize building strong relationships with students to foster a sense of belonging and to address the specific social-emotional needs that may have hindered their progress previously. Through a combination of rigorous academic standards and specialized behavioral interventions, the center strives to break cycles of failure and empower students to develop the discipline and confidence necessary to achieve their diplomas and become productive members of the community.
