Helping teens and young adults with additional challenges develop and apply valuable life and work skills to live a fulfilled, connected and meaningful life.
We do this by teaching our students our proven strategies in a safe, supportive, nurturing and inclusive environment where our focus is on ability. We educate, enable and empower our clients.
We help with the transition from school to work and/or further studies.

We focus on strengths and gently help to address weaknesses.
We make learning fun, engaging, relevant and practical.
We do this by involving our students in all parts of the process.
We have a lot of fun and interaction. We remove barriers to learning.
(There are NO tests, NO exams and NO assessments).
Our students participate in practical, hands on learning.
