How We Work
Social Emotional Learning
Learning is more than academics. Better Days applies SEL methodologies to help our students to grow socially and emotionally.
Trauma Informed Teaching
Migration and dislocation can be traumatic experiences. Better Days ensures students feel safe first, so they are free to learn.
Individual Education Plan
Some students need more specialized support. Better Days has dedicated IEPs for its more at risk students to chart their progress and achieve their goals.
