By implementing a more controlled atmosphere with a higher emphasis on student accountability, the school aims to help students improve their grades, attendance, and social skills. Ultimately, the institution serves as a vital bridge for students, providing the necessary interventions and guidance to help them regain academic stability and successfully transition back into their home schools or move forward toward their post-secondary goals.
