Therapeutic environment as described by school...
The therapeutic environment lies at the heart of the school. Care, respect, patience, knowledgeable staff, thoughtful student-centered teaching, positive systems, and the art of never giving up on a student are joined together with expectations and standards that encourage and support learning, emotional growth, positive change, competence, achievement, and the ability to be self-reliant and independent. A therapeutic environment fosters tolerance and understanding by focusing on reflection, group processes, and shared goals. Students are supported as they are challenged to strive harder and are taught in ways that promote success. They are encouraged to question their beliefs and actions as they explore new ideas and ways of thinking. They are encouraged to strive, with the knowledge that they will only be asked to tackle tasks that are well within their emotional and academic reach.
