Creating a Safe and Accepting Space
At LiHigh School, we create a safe and accepting space where students are embraced for who they are. We understand that students with social-emotional challenges may struggle to express their feelings and maintain healthy relationships. Therefore, we provide an environment that allows them to feel their big emotions and express themselves freely, while ensuring their well-being and the well-being of the entire community.
Progressive Academic Model
Our approach to academics combines a progressive model that meets each student where they are and encourages them to broaden their zone of proximal development. We address learning gaps by utilizing specialized lab programs, focusing on foundational skills in reading, writing, and arithmetic. Through this tailored approach, students experience significant growth, with some students achieving over five-grade-level jumps in their basic academic skills in just one school year.
Challenging Growth and Development
As relationships deepen, we begin to challenge our students to grow and develop in healthy ways. We help them understand how to cope with their challenges, fostering self-awareness and teaching appropriate ways to express themselves. By building patience, tolerance for discomfort, and a stronger sense of respect for their community and the people within it, we guide students towards positive actions aligned with their short and long-term life goals.
Empowering Personal Aspirations
Our ultimate goal is to empower students to achieve their personal aspirations. Whether it is successfully transitioning back to their general education school or pursuing further education and career paths, we are committed to supporting each student on their unique educational journey. Our success stories speak volumes, with students making remarkable academic progress, successfully reintegrating into mainstream schools, and gaining acceptance into college.
Personalized Learning and Pursuing Passions
For students who have progressed beyond the lab programs, we provide a high-interest personalized learning model. This approach allows students to pursue their unique interests and hobbies as a key part of their individual curriculum. By engaging in subjects that captivate their enthusiasm, students become more invested in their education and develop a lifelong love of learning.
At LiHigh School, we believe in the transformative power of trust, mentorship, and personalized learning. Through our innovative approach, we cultivate a supportive community where students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Join us on this extraordinary educational journey, where we nurture growth, resilience, and success for every student.
