Aspiro - Students We Serve

Students We Serve

Program 1: Youth: Ages: 13 - 17

Program 2: Young Adults: ages 18 - 30

Aspiro operates year-round and application for admission may take place at any time. Acceptance is based on a review of the student's current and past history of behavior, consultation with parents and professionals and psycho-educational testing when appropriate

Appropriate candidates are adolescent males and females with a history of soft to moderate emotional and behavioral problems, low self-esteem, academic underachievement, substance abuse and family conflict. Students who attend Aspiro have engaged in behaviors or peer influences that have slowed down their normal developmental progress.
