SCALE

Empowering Students with Personalized Education PlansSCALE is an alternative education program designed to meet the unique needs of students in grades 6-12 who require a non-traditional learning environment. Through an individualized service plan (ISP), we ensure that each student receives the necessary support to succeed academically and behaviorally while fostering personal growth. At SCALE, we are committed to helping students achieve their full potential by addressing their specific challenges and providing tailored services.

SCALE provides a comprehensive support system for students and their families, addressing obstacles such as:

• Academic struggles
• Poor attendance
• Mental or emotional health challenges
• Family or personal relationship issues
• Employment-related conflicts
• Substance abuse or physical health concerns
