embark education is not just academics…

We are deeply invested in the entirety of students and believe they are more than just receptacles to be filled with knowledge and skills. Each student who walks through our door is recognized as a unique human with their own social-emotional wellbeing, hopes and backstory. Our job as educators is to nurture the development of the entire adolescent.

Embark Education challenges students (and the adults who work with them) to show-up as their complete and authentic selves each day.  In this way, we work together as a learning community to become more aware of our individual and community identities, develop emotional intelligence, and practice radical empathy. The ultimate goal of this work is to promote each individuals’ self-knowledge, therefore improving their ability to regulate emotions, develop healthy relationships, and agency.
