Academic Support

Creating a Succesful College Experience For Students

Academic success is our best measure of how well a young adult is adapting to real-world circumstances within our program. We work with students to set realistic goals, develop sustainable study habits, and establish academic accountability.

However, the focus is not only on coursework – it’s also finding out what is getting in the way of being successful academically. When students have confidence in academics, it translates into other parts of their life: relationships are better, sleep is better, and they do better in other aspects of life. By living in a college environment at The Arise Society, students develop real-world relationships, share experiences, and learn. Combining this with individualized support, students thrive while moving past behaviors and patterns that have held them back from success.

We share the following experiences with our students:

• Highly personalized academic plans
• Regular academic meetings
• Accountability for academic goals
• Class attendance and study hall 
• Transparency of grades and academic work
• Completion of assignments and/or projects
• Mediating the instructor-student relationship
• Assisting with accommodations when necessary
• Tracking academic progress
• Helping our students with the administrative process
• Mentor assistance
