Formal Education
Tool #1: Education
Integrity House holds a provisional accreditation as a Special Purpose School by the Commission on Schools of the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools. This school is recognized for promoting and maintaining a well-balanced education program and for meeting or exceeding standards considered essential for quality education. Integrity House is a member of the Better Business Bureau.
Through a complete educational process that combines both "Formal Academics" and "Life Skills" education each child learns the tools necessary to live a successful and fulfilling life. They learn to take pride in their accomplishments and they learn to work with others in home, workplace, classroom and community settings.
Formal Academics
During the orientation period of the child's stay they will be assessed and assigned an IAP (Individual Academic Plan). Each child's IAP is tailored to their specific needs. Assessment includes review of school records, therapeutic assessments, personal interviews and input from parents and family counselors. The student's educational and career goals are taken into consideration where appropriate.
A state accredited teacher is assigned to work one-on-one with the child to accomplish the goals set out in their IAP. Course completion is based on mastery of course objectives rather than "seat time". By working with the teacher in a one-on-one setting the student is able to "make up for lost time" due to lack of performance in their prior academic setting and students are able to graduate and attend local formal graduation ceremonies receiving their High School Diploma. Curriculum includes Science, Mathematics, Social Studies, Language Arts, as well as a variety of other core and elective course subjects. Because we utilize a one-on-one student/teacher setting, each child can begin their course studies immediately upon enrollment in our program.
