EDUCATION STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The faculty and staff of the TIU11 Adolescent Partial Hospitalization Program will provide a safe, nurturing, and academically challenging education program for each of its students. Education will be virtually based and personalized to meet the learning needs of all. Pre and post testing will be conducted to gather data to make informed decisions about the best practices for each student. Academic advisors will facilitate and support students daily in the classrooms. Working as a team, it is our goal to see our students make successful transitions back into their home school classrooms with ease and academic confidence.
