๐Ÿ’ฌ Real Talk

This isn’t your average classroom. You’ll be working with students who’ve faced challenges and need someone calm, kind, and consistent. You’ll be part of a team that celebrates progress—no matter how small—and believes in every learner.

Our graduates have gone on to eventually become Psychologists, Teachers, SEND specialists, and Mentors. Wherever you’re headed next, this experience will give you the foundation to thrive ๐Ÿš€
