Third Place is not a traditional school and it’s not home, it’s a third option for students. It’s for those who need a space to keep up and catch up with their academics while continuing to focus on mental health. we don’t walk you to the bathroom, we don’t have attendance requirements but we do meet you where you are and create an individualized plan to meet your needs.
A day at third place
Hours: 9:30am - 2:30pm Monday through Friday
Your day might look something like this:
Enter Third Place with a can-do attitude! Meet with an executive functioning coach to review your past assignments, prioritize make up work, compile a list of school contacts then grab a snack. Might even set some goals together! In the common area you see here, you might get some work done in a small group setting with other students. Lunch and art therapy mid day are typically the highlight, but never fear, you can always meet with a tutor or therapist afterwards to round out your day and feel a sense of accomplishment.
If you feel like your situation is unique or you feel you have tried everything, give us a call and see if we might be a good fit for you.
PS - We are student focused and strive to build your intrinsic motivation and independence to meet your definition of success!
PPS - Length of stay varies depending on the needs of the student and is always up to the family to decide
