Alturas Prep will expand on an already established program that teaches self-discipline and responsibility to all students; provides a physical environment that is welcoming and conducive to learning; promotes communication and interaction in the classroom; supports an affective environment that promotes a sense of belonging and self-esteem; and provides an academic environment that promotes learning and self-fulfillment.
