The RESCU Pedagogy:

The student and the student’s family are the focus of the RESCU's instructional methods. The goal of the school is to reunite each student with his or her family, community, and society as a whole. The family and student participate in family sessions and are supported by the individualized academic curriculum, rigorous daily athletic activities, and the peer, parent, and sibling groups. These procedures are structured and facilitated by the RESCU staff, all of whom are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
