The SQR Team found significant evidence that Street Academy provides youth development embedded into its curriculum through: the Metamorphosis class, which emphasizes personal growth, reflection, and goal setting; electives classes, which link student interests to their overall well-being and personal development; the Political Action events and papers all students complete each year; and the Senior Project all students complete.
The Counselor-Mentor-Teacher structure (similar to advisory), provides a high level of individualized attention, support, and communication to keep students on track and to coordinate support services. Because of the size of the student body (approximately 100), Street Academy teachers, administrator, and counselor are able to regularly talk through and strategize supports for specific students they are concerned about.
