Educational Support

The LEAP Program aims to help students achieve and prepare for high school and beyond. We help bridge potential and academic success with a focus on executive functioning skills and navigating the four years of high school.

What LEAP is:

• LEAP is an acronym that stands for Learn, Achieve, Explore, and Prepare
• LEAP is an in-school academic support class for grades 9-12 that prepares students for college eligibility and success
• LEAP 1 prepares freshmen and sophomores to succeed in their courses and build solid habits in preparation for more challenging courses
  • LEAP is for all students, but it targets those in the academic middle, supporting their success in advanced classes
• LEAP 2 is a college and career readiness class that helps students navigate college applications and determine the next steps after graduation
  • LEAP levels the playing field for minority, rural, low-income, and other students without a college-going tradition in their families

What LEAP isn't:

LEAP isn't a remedial program
LEAP isn’t a magic wand to improve grades
LEAP isn't a free ride
LEAP isn't a college outreach program

Restorative justice is a creative approach to justice that focuses on offenders taking responsibility for their actions. Any victims involved may also take part to help with the process of repairing any harm that may have been done.

Restorative justice encourages students to think about their errors and how they can improve upon their future actions.

See more info and the form to request conflict resolution or mediation.
