What is the STAR Program?
The Support, Transition, and Assessment Resource Program (STAR) is designed to provide emotional and academic support, direct instruction, and a small, home-like environment to students with mental health concerns. We pride ourselves on individualized programming based on student strengths. Flexibility, structure, and a therapeutic approach to education are primary tools for student success within the larger school community.
