Journey Academy

A safe, supportive space to discover full potential

Journey Academy provides specialized, inclusive and highly supportive academic and therapeutic programming in an enriching small class environment that recognizes the unique strengths and abilities of each student. In collaboration with families and community partners, our school empowers youth from across California to feel invested, accountable and engaged in their education, their relationships, and their own personal development so that they may strive more confidently towards their future

Academics and IEP Case Management

Tailored to reflect individual learning needs and IEP goals, our enriched diploma track program provides highly structured and supportive small class environments to ensure all students develop the academic executive functioning skills needed to earn a high school diploma and transition to less restriction. 

College/Career Transition Programs

All students are supported in exploring their interests, immersing themselves in opportunities and developing a clear, achievable and scaffolded pathway to work, college, career and/or independent living goals through our robust Transition Planning Program as well as our Culinary Arts CTE program.

Electives and Enrichment:

Developing a strong sense of self and positive relationships with others is an important part of any school experience. We incorporate a number of enrichment activities, field trips, school events and guest speakers to help students connect to their curiosity and be active in their communities.

Residential Living

Our residential program wraps around the school day to provide supportive structure, consistent case management and essential life skills practice in order to provide a safe, nurturing and inclusive community that enhances successful engagement in all areas of student life.

Clinical Services

Our clinical team utilizes a strengths-based collaborative approach to support the therapeutic goals identified in each student’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP) and to identify and address any other areas of therapeutic need that might be impacting positive progress in school, at home and in the community.
