Mission Statement
To provide a personalized, rigorous academic program and relevant life skills to traditionally underserved, at-risk students in grades 7-12 who have withdrawn or are in danger of withdrawing from mainstream education without attaining a high school diploma. LW addresses the needs in our community by offering a program to give these disengaged students an educational choice designed to meet their specific needs, distinct from the traditional programs that had not served them well. Our model combines both the need for academic intervention and support, as well as acknowledges that this population requires wrap around and social support services.
