Pilgrim Academy is an alternative day school program which serves students from middle school through high school. These students experience emotional and behavioral difficulties and have had difficulty in typical school settings. The program offers individual and small group academic instruction within a therapeutic setting. Classroom instruction emphasizes basic skills and curriculum is individualized to each student's achievement level. A behavioral component, through which privileges are earned for appropriate or improved behavior, also serves as an instructional tool. Counseling services are provided to assist students with situational and relational problems in school and are designed to supplement more intensive therapy most students receive outside of school. A six week summer component, designed to reinforce academic instruction, is also offered.
