Alternative Education

Home  >  Services  >  Alternative Education
   

Barium Springs Home for Children understands that children learn best in a variety of settings. Sometimes, these settings aren't available in the traditional educational system. To ensure these youth do not get left behind academically, Barium Springs offers alternative educational environments that focus on behavioral and educational needs.

In many cases, these students need more individualized classroom attention, or they need a more hands-on learning approach than what is available in main stream schools. Our goal is to strengthen social skills and foundational academic skills so that students can rejoin their peers in the appropriate public school setting.

“ It's pretty cool going to school at Barium Springs where there are only a few kids in my classroom. If I need help I can just raise my hand and the teacher is available to help me on the spot. We do lots of fun activities that make the day fly by and we are learning a lot. We like it here, but we hope that we will be able to go back to school with our friends next year. ”
Takima and Shaquille, age Age 11 and 13
