Our program strives to give hope to our students to become successful in their learning environment, by helping them develop the social, academic and vocational skills they need to function successfully in society. Joseph Academy provides an environment that is both nurturing and challenging. We seek to build students’ self-esteem and productivity through a therapeutic program in which staff members constantly express respect and affection for them. The ultimate goal is to transform these young people into achievers who can effectively reenter the mainstream.
