We offer an on-line and interactive curriculum through Alpha Omega Academy. Alpha Omega Academy is accredited through AdvancED. Each girl has a specialized lcurriculum which includes both electives and core classes. We have certified teachers in the classroom to answer questions and make sure students are progressing in their work. It is a priority that our students are able to continue with their education.

We also offer counseling through our licensed on-staff counselor, a therapeutic curriculum, and group sessions. Parents are involved through regular phone calls, letter writing, and Parent Weekends (1 weekend - every other month). We have scheduled physical activity through membership to a local gym, free time, and special events monthly/quarterly/yearly. We also attend church off-campus twice weekly and have chapel services here on our campus.
