ENGAGING TEENS IN THE PROCESS OF GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
Independence Academy provides a tiered model of programming for adolescents who are identified as “high risk”. We are committed to providing cutting-edge programming that is responsive to the emerging needs of adolescents in the areas of substance use, social/emotional, and mental health needs. We believe in empowering students to take responsibility for their own growth and development and therefore all of the programs at Independence Academy are voluntary and students have to demonstrate a willingness and ability to engage in the work that we are doing.
