Our Approach
At Sage Alliance Schools, we believe that every student deserves a chance to succeed, no matter where they are starting from. That's why we take a collaborative approach to education, working closely with our students, their families, and their districts to create a personalized plan for success. We understand that every student is unique, and we meet them where they are, tailoring our approach to their individual needs and goals. With the help of our experienced educators and support staff, we provide the tools and resources necessary to help our students achieve their full potential. At the heart of our approach is a commitment to partnership. We work closely with families and districts to ensure that our students have the support they need both inside and outside the classroom. By working together, we can create a network of support that empowers our students to succeed.
Integrated School Model
With a multidisciplinary team approach, we integrate clinically licensed therapists and certified teachers and staff with students, peers, and families to build trusted, productive relationships with community-based medical and health care providers. It is our core belief that by integrating and working together, we are better able to focus on our students and enable them to achieve their greatest level of academic success and optimal mental health. Our integrated model focuses on:
- Working together to fully understand underlying issues and create an action-based plan.
- Creating direct and clear communications that support better outcomes.
- Providing necessary therapy on-site, with our trained licensed staff.
- Coordinating care among all members of the team so we’re working with the student and family toward a common vision for the future.
Our Shared Calling
Our integrative model is efficient because our holistic team of professionals — educational and therapeutic — collaborate and work towards shared student goals. Our communication protocols allow for greater awareness and sensitivity to our students’ needs, which permits us to be more proactive in identifying student challenges and opportunities.
Staying Connected
Teachers and therapeutic teams meet weekly. Student progress is evaluated on a timely basis so that academic, social and emotional challenges can be identified and solutioned. At the same time, a student’s progress and momentum is also explored as part of our whole student approach. The close-working relationships among our professionals, and between our staff and students, enable teachers and therapists to tailor lessons and therapy sessions within rapidly changing conditions in an adolescent’s life.
