School Overview

The Social-Emotional Alt Program, located at 1900 E. Cleveland Avenue in Decatur, Illinois, serves as a specialized educational environment designed to support students who require more intensive behavioral and emotional intervention than what is typically offered in a traditional classroom setting. The program focuses on creating a structured, therapeutic atmosphere where students can develop the essential social-emotional skills necessary to regulate their behavior, navigate interpersonal relationships, and improve their overall mental well-being.

By integrating personalized academic instruction with targeted behavioral support, the program aims to help students overcome barriers to learning. The goal is to provide a safe, stable, and supportive environment that fosters personal growth and academic progress, ultimately preparing students to succeed in their future educational endeavors or transition back into a traditional school environment with increased self-awareness and improved coping strategies.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity. Charters grant these schools greater operational flexibility over curriculum, staffing, and budgeting in exchange for strict accountability to achieve performance standards established in their charter agreement.

It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
