Emotional Support Program @ Neshaminy
High School
Our Mission is to provide a safe, comfortable, and flexible
learning environment where our students can be nurtured to excel. Our emotional support program focuses on the values of trust, respect, accountability, responsibility and empathy towards others. Our collective goal is to provide lessons and interventions through the group process that will help to increase the social, emotional, and academic success of our students. Our staff is passionately committed to your children. We recognize and appreciate the day to day differences and challenges, we all face. We recognize the “undiscovered” and seek to bring back to life their irrepressible souls within.
