“We feel Alix learned ‘how to learn’ at Chance. She handled a new school and new challenges in a calm, matter-of-fact, ‘I can do something about it’ attitude. Students who are not doing the best they can are quite an anomaly to her. Focusing on the process and the joy of learning…. gave Alix the confidence to handle her transition admirably.”

“At Chance, students ready themselves for life. I have watched the process of ‘developmentally appropriate’ teaching over the years. Structuring the process as Chance does results in students who are self-starters, develop skills, make choices, solve problems, and actively participate. Because they are given the opportunity to design solutions, they make good choices and become part of the solution. It is a solid platform.”
