Individualized Academics
Education Tailored to Fit Individual Needs
Students work independently with the support of 1-on-1 tutoring from certified teachers in a classroom environment. This set up facilitates a learning experience that can be tailored to the individual needs of each student.
Academic support begins with life skills, which provides students with foundational skills for success in the classroom like study tips and how to ask for help.
Traditional coursework in English and Mathematics is provided through a fully-accredited curriculum, enabling students to earn high school credits that will transfer back to their home school after treatment.
Other core education offerings include Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University for personal finance and faith-based character studies led by TCAR staff.
