Regional â€‹Safe School​​​

A safe place of growth and hope for youth-of-promise.

HOW WE HELP

Described as a model for the state, the West40 Regional Safe School helps students who are up against difficult circumstances out of their control. By changing these circumstances—offering safety, encouragement, and structure in a DIFFERENT setting—we can change the ending to each student’s story. We start by earning their trust, building relationships, and changing how they look at their lives and think about themselves. We help them take ownership of their responsibilities - academic and behavior toward others. We help them believe in their abilities to turn their lives around to get back on the path to graduation and life readiness.

WHO WE SERVE

Our Safe School serves students in grades 6-12 who were suspended, expulsion eligible, and/or expelled who yearn to be future innovators of their community and need help in fulfilling their dreams.

The biggest lessons in my life are the ones I learned  at the West40 Safe Schools.
