Journeys Secondary 90 Western Ave. S. 651-744-1900
At Journeys, we don't let labels define us. We are a small program that believes in the WHOLE CHILD approach to education.
Our school gives students with emotional or behavioral disabilities a structured place to learn skills and gain confidence.
Students concentrate on academics in the morning and participate in career and job-related activities in the afternoon, preparing them for life after high school.
Our small school allows students to focus on what matters for their future. As they move through our program, they may discover a hidden talent or a new interest that will take them through adulthood.
We truly are a school family that has laughter and smiles every day. Our students are also able to focus on goal-setting, decision-making and conflict resolution strategies. Our staff is focused on our students and we are here to support their needs today and their goals for tomorrow.
