OUR APPROACH
Sierra Sage’s education program emphasizes 4 R’s: relationships, relevance, rigor, and rituals. Following this approach, administrators, teachers, and students work collaboratively to achieve academic goals.
Rigor: Classes and high school graduation requirements align with Common Core Standards; students easily transfer or leave with a high school diploma.
Relevance: We implement an individualized, culturally relevant curriculum focused on 21st century skills.
Relationships: Teachers develop relationships and become advocates for students, supporting the youth’s academic, personal and treatment goals.
Rituals: Family, staff, and students participate in graduations and learning celebrations; they are able to celebrate the students achievements and visualize their continued success.
