Programs
The Community School offers two core programs, both of which are formed around its core philosophy of relational education.
In the Residential Program, eight students live at the school for a nine-month academic term. The students have internships and apprenticeships in the local area, cook dinner, do chores, have individually tailored academics throughout the day, including group specialty classes such as American Sign Language, social justice and diversity classes, green initiative projects, Experiential Learning Expeditions, etc. The students meet regularly with their advisors and tutors. At the end of the academic term, the students receive their high school diploma.
The second program is called Passages, for pregnant and parenting teens. Teacher-counselors go to students' homes, where students learn about parenting skills, life skills, and other academics, culminating in a 'Passage', a major project that the student creates and finishes.

Famous quotes containing the word programs:
“Government ... thought [it] could transform the country through massive national programs, but often the programs did not work. Too often they only made things worse. In our rush to accomplish great deeds quickly, we trampled on sound principles of restraint and endangered the rights of individuals.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“Short of a wholesale reform of college athletics—a complete breakdown of the whole system that is now focused on money and power—the women’s programs are just as doomed as the men’s are to move further and further away from the academic mission of their colleges.... We have to decide if that’s the kind of success for women’s sports that we want.”
—Christine H. B. Grant, U.S. university athletic director. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A42 (May 12, 1993)
“Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of society’s ills—from crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.”
—Barbara Bowman (20th century)
