We are an arts based school offering standard academic courses in English, mathematics, science, social studies and computer literacy. We provide our students with an Arts program which works with The Waterways Project of Ten Penny Players. Additionally, our students are able to acquire or improve some vocational skills through training in our professionally equipped print, barber, culinary, and auto shops.

The average length of enrollment per student is approximately two months. However, it is not unusual for a few students to stay a few days, a year, or more than a year. Most of our students are still in the adjudication process of their cases. To address this situation, we offer classes which give our students a better understanding of criminal law and court proceedings.

The educational levels of our students range from those with special educational needs to others who have high school diplomas, GEDs, or have already earned college credits. Despite the difficult circumstances, the administration and staff, along with a core of active parents are working to create an environment conducive to learning and academic excellence.
