Small classes and individualized attention
Students arriving at Solstice East come from a variety of diverse backgrounds and enter our program at various levels of academic completion and engagement. Many have fallen behind in their studies or are lacking in grade-level credits due to a series of mental health challenges or traumas, and are struggling in school due to a lack of motivation, deficit of attention, or learning style challenges. For some, structured classes, if attended at all, have become an obstacle fueling depression, anxiety, and mental health disorders.
