Hope Therapeutic Day Academy

Established in 2004, Hope Therapeutic Day Academy is a therapeutic, empirically based and data driven, educational program designed to support students grades K-8. Hope supports those who are not thriving in the traditional school setting because of emotional and behavioral difficulties related to mental health concerns. Our licensed therapists work closely with our students to teach skills to grow academically, socially and emotionally. An integral piece of our program is parent and referring school participation in order to return the student back to their home school as quickly and safely as possible. We meet on a regular basis with all parties involved and encourage feedback and collaboration to foster student independence and a successful transition. Furthermore, we provide a positive environment where we celebrate the students’ successes and seek to recognize their abilities and accomplishments on a daily basis.
