About the Program: 

We are a public school program, run by Sacramento County Office of Education, serving youth with emotional and behavioral difficulties who cannot be served by their home schools/ districts.  A major part of our emphasis is to better prepare these students to move from school to the adult world.  One of our innovative programs is the "Sustainable Environments Academy", a grouping of high school students who help develop a school-based garden which supports our restaurant, our Farmer's Market, and our community service projects.
