Mansion High School
Mansion High School’s mission is to provide students with a therapeutic environment that supports students' mental health to empower personal and academic growth. We aim to lessen the obstacles that arise from mental health needs for our students to function in an academic environment. The environment at Mansion High School is small with a maximum enrollment of 20 students which allows for a small staff-to-student ratio; the program is designed for students that have difficulties functioning in larger school environments
