San Diego Center for Children: LifeSchool
LifeSchool is the Center’s school-based program in South Bay on the campus of Southwest High School. Within the two classrooms, the Center helps up to 22 special education students, 7th-12th grade, who are struggling emotionally and academically and need higher-level support than a traditional classroom to get back on a successful life track. Students are referred from the Sweetwater Union High School District and are usually demonstrating poor performance in the classroom, both with school work and their behaviors. Many are struggling in their peer-to-peer relationships as well as with family members. The behavioral health needs of the students vary from depression, anxiety, ADHD, disruptive behavior, and many others – usually with a combination of factors contributing to their cause. The commonality is that the behaviors are negatively affecting the students’ ability to succeed at school. All students are working with an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) that outlines their needs and builds a unique plan to meet their goals. The Center staff represents the therapeutic component of the school-based program. The highly-skilled, culturally-competent team care about each student’s success and are equipped to share many different tools and practices for students to achieve their goals. Additionally, the team is mostly comprised of South Bay natives who are very closely connected to the community.

San Diego Center for Children Academy
The San Diego Center for Children Academy is a nonpublic school – accredited by the Western Association of Schools & Colleges (WASC) – allowing students a place to flourish in the classroom – and in life. Our academic and behavioral principles are rooted in finding the strengths and passionseach child brings that will allow them to achieve their personal best. Many factors can be at the root of distractive, unproductive or unhealthy behaviors at school. From developmental delays and learning disabilities to emotional and social stressors, how well a child learns and performs at school can be significantly impacted when behavioral health conditions are present. We understand many students just need extra support in their academic and personal growth that is not always available in a traditional classroom. Each teacher at the Academy is credentialed in special education, and our staff-to-student ratio allows for close instruction, direction and assistance.
