Philosophy:

New Directions Center is a non-punitive approach to school suspension. We believe that building relationship through a more therapeutic process will lead to rehabilitative behaviors.   Quality education is the key for success. The New Directions Center is committed to providing effective, efficient, and engaging instruction. Through this commitment, by all faculty and staff, we trust that every student will enhance their self-esteem and build consistent positive behavior.

 

​

Mission:

Our mission at New Directions Center is to empower and enhance students by utilizing an individual approach that provides a more structured setting. New Directions Center will partner with families, community agencies and schools to achieve educational and behavioral success. This partnership will maximize academic potential ensuring that the student will continue to receive a free and appropriate public education.  New Directions Center offers educational opportunities for students with disabilities and regular education students who continuously disrupt the learning environment and have been recommended for short term suspension.

 

​

Academic Courses:

New Directions Center offers services that include the following: Elementary and Middle School Common Core State Standards, counseling, case management, small class sizes, crisis/behavioral management and tutoring services.
