Organization Description We are a child-centered school.
Our approach is based on Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological theory of child development, which describes how many influences in a child’s life work to affect academic performance and engagement. For our students, the experience of homelessness creates multiple breaks in these relationships. We support families as they begin to mend these breaks. We believe that for each child to thrive and succeed in school, we must recognize and address that child’s individual needs extending beyond the classroom. This may mean allowing a child a few hours of extra sleep or an extra meal during the school day. It may mean working with parents and community partners to secure permanent housing or employment. It will always mean meeting each child where they are, recognizing their individual strengths and challenges, and helping them progress and succeed.
