At Muir Wood, academics are a top priority. The Muir Wood Learning Center is recognized as a supplemental education program by the State of California Department of Education and is accredited by WASC (the Western Association of Schools and Colleges), and our staff includes masters-level, multiple-subject state-credentialed teachers and single-subject credentialed teachers. Teens are in school for a minimum of three hours per day, Monday-Friday. The Muir Wood Learning Center can offer credits for a number of core subjects. We also typically work with the teen’s home school, with the parents acting as a liaison to obtain schoolwork. Our goal is to keep teens current in their academics while enrolled at Muir Wood to help ensure seamless reintegration back to their home school following treatment. Another option that parents may choose is to have their child enroll in fully accredited distance learning courses taken online.
