San Diego Center for Children Academy

The San Diego Center for Children Academy is a nonpublic school – accredited by the Western Association of Schools & Colleges (WASC) – allowing students a place to flourish in the classroom – and in life. Our academic and behavioral principles are rooted in finding the strengths and passionseach child brings that will allow them to achieve their personal best. Many factors can be at the root of distractive, unproductive or unhealthy behaviors at school. From developmental delays and learning disabilities to emotional and social stressors, how well a child learns and performs at school can be significantly impacted when behavioral health conditions are present. We understand many students just need extra support in their academic and personal growth that is not always available in a traditional classroom. Each teacher at the Academy is credentialed in special education, and our staff-to-student ratio allows for close instruction, direction and assistance.

San Diego Center for Children: Clark Adolescent Program

The Clark Adolescent Treatment Cottage is a Level 14 group home for ages 13-18, treating up to 30 children at capacity. Most rooms are shared, dormitory style, with same gender youth, in order to encourage social and communication skills, preparing for possible real-life scenarios. A large focus in this program is placed on Independent Living Skills, as many are working towards emancipation and self-supported adulthood. Many times, there is a significant learning curve of necessary skills that are needed to perform some of life’s basic activities: hold a job, rent an apartment, open a bank account, access public transportation, shop for living essentials, maintain personal hygiene, and prepare nutritious, affordable meals. We understand these teens need space to express independence and build healthy relationships while also given the confidence that any youth seeks during such an insecure and vulnerable time. The Clark Adolescent Treatment Program is equipped to teach these skills in real-life applications, preparing each teen for a successful transition into their next phase on their journey.

San Diego Center for Children: LifeSchool

LifeSchool is the Center’s school-based program in South Bay on the campus of Southwest High School. Within the two classrooms, the Center helps up to 22 special education students, 7th-12th grade, who are struggling emotionally and academically and need higher-level support than a traditional classroom to get back on a successful life track. Students are referred from the Sweetwater Union High School District and are usually demonstrating poor performance in the classroom, both with school work and their behaviors. Many are struggling in their peer-to-peer relationships as well as with family members. The behavioral health needs of the students vary from depression, anxiety, ADHD, disruptive behavior, and many others – usually with a combination of factors contributing to their cause. The commonality is that the behaviors are negatively affecting the students’ ability to succeed at school. All students are working with an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) that outlines their needs and builds a unique plan to meet their goals. The Center staff represents the therapeutic component of the school-based program. The highly-skilled, culturally-competent team care about each student’s success and are equipped to share many different tools and practices for students to achieve their goals. Additionally, the team is mostly comprised of South Bay natives who are very closely connected to the community.
