By maintaining a focus on core subjects such as math, English, science, and social studies, Telles Academy ensures that students remain on track to meet district standards. Beyond academics, the program integrates restorative practices and counseling to help students address the underlying issues that led to their placement, ultimately aiming to foster personal responsibility and long-term academic and social success.
