Holden welcomes and supports the diverse learning styles our students bring to our community.
Holden’s Co-Directors have over 100 years of combined experience working with students struggling with social, emotional, and academic challenges. Our staff includes two Learning Specialists and two licensed Marriage and Family Therapists.
All staff meet weekly to collaborate for student success.
Students receive academic and emotional support from grade level advisory groups, homework labs, teacher and learning specialist office hours, specialized electives, family counseling, end of semester conferences, transition counseling, study skills classes, and academic or behavioral support meetings (all covered within the cost of tuition).
See our Emotional-Support page for more information on Holden programming.
We provide appropriate classroom accommodations and modifications for our students by taking input from families, teachers, educational testing, 504 plans, and IEPs. Holden has two credentialed Learning Specialists to work with both staff and individual students in order to differentiate instruction and facilitate a successful educational experience for all learning styles.
Additionally, all students receive one-on-one counseling with a Therapist Trainee or Associate, and can opt in to individual homework support tor learning support tutoring.
We want to ensure that Holden is a good fit for all of our students. If the prospective student has ever been in a treatment program or hospitalized, one of our counseling supervisors needs to speak with their program or therapist before a student can be considered for acceptance.
Students with medically diagnosed psychoses, those who need line-of-sight supervision, have aggressive behavioral issues, or are currently in crisis are out of Holden’s scope of practice. Students with high support needs may be out of our scope of practice.
