and the partnership provisions of both Abraxas Education Group
and the contracting district.

In most cases, our services are for a specific population of disruptive
students that have been unsuccessful in their home schools for
a variety of reasons including truancy, behavior incidents, suspensions
and expulsions. Our focus is to provide these services to
both regular education and special needs/special education students.

organization?

ready and confident in their ability to be successful. Over
the past several years we have successfully transitioned hundreds
of students.

positive results that the Abraxas Education Group programs
have achieved?

various areas over the years. Please Contact
Us for further information.
- What makes Abraxas Education Group successful in assisting
students?
Our success is primarily a function of the school environment
we create through our program approach and philosophy. We provide
small classroom sizes, allowing more adult/teacher contact with students
than traditional education environments. Our programs also
work closely with each student on an individual basis, extending
to more than academic performance. We provide our students
with a positive, effective social environment and engage them in
their own personal development. They receive individual coaching
and training on how to effectively deal with personal stress and
decision making. Students are treated with respect and are
encouraged to learn the importance of basic social responsibility
relative to themselves and their interactions with peers. We
approach each student from a holistic perspective, and the result
is a more effective, safe and successful school environment where
a student can feel personal accomplishment and achieve success.
