About

We are a CDE certificated and WASC accredited nonpublic school, serving 8th - 12th grades. We teach to the California state standards, and our instructors are special education credentialed with various areas of expertise. Our classes have no more than 12 students, allowing for individualized instruction and highly-personal interactions. Classes are staffed by a teacher and instructional aides. We work with vulnerable teens who are bright and capable, but are struggling to find their place in the world. They are often spiraling inward and downward. Journey Academy is designed to support teens in deepening self-knowledge, healing trauma, and developing a set of relational skills that will serve them for a lifetime. Our students at Journey Academy are bright individuals, and we believe it's important to take the time to get to know them and understand who they are. We create a calm and structured environment that is safe, accepting, and personal. We want teens to have a true high school experience. This means talent shows, field trips, proms, dances, and spirit days. It means modern technology in our classrooms. We help teens form connections to self, others, and the larger community to holistically support them to be healthy and successful individuals in this complex world.
