ACHIEVEMENT RESOURCE CENTER


The Academy’s Achievement Resource Center (ARC) is comprised of a team of clinicians and designed to cultivate a positive, supportive learning environment for all students. ARC’s mission is to foster achievement and delight in individuals with social-emotional, learning, and developmental needs through collaborative, multi-sensory, and strength-based support services; innovative, universal school-based programming; and RULER, the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence’s social-emotional learning (SEL) curriculum.
