Midwest Regional Educational Learning Center
About our program
The Resilient Heights program is founded on the idea that all students are valuable and have the potential to be successful in their school experience and beyond.
Students who come to Resilient Heights are afforded an individualized education that includes life and social skills, career exploration, mental health counseling, and a hands-on curriculum that is aligned with the State of Ohio educational standards, The staff at Resilient Heights come from a variety of backgrounds and work together to help students feel empowered in making good choices. These choices will affect their lives and the lives of others around them positively. All staff follow the restorative justice model of teaching students to admit their mistakes and work to resolve them. Helping every student to improve their interpersonal skills and build coping skills to persevere in stressful situations is our goal.
Students who attend our program will feel valued and empowered to do their best in their studies, become better learners, and better citizens. Students will learn the skill of mediation, as well as, form positive relationships with other students and staff. The goal for every student we serve is that they will leave Resilient Heights having learned how to succeed in their educational career, their interpersonal relationships, and society.
