The School Year Does Not Pause
School keeps going while they live here. Classes are on site through Advantages School, a Cognia-accredited partner. The work can transfer back to their school at home. Gym and art therapy can count as PE and art. For ages 12-17.

Work that goes home with them
Because the school is accredited, completed work can transfer back to their home campus. Ask their counselor to confirm the courses before discharge — districts still decide what they accept.

How To Continue Schoolwork While At Hillside
