For many students with emotional needs,

education in a mainstream environment does

not provide sufficient support to be
academically successful.
Sage Day schools and programs provide an innovative approach to therapeutic education for

students who are in need of increased emotional support.

Students who find the most success utilizing Sage Day resources are those suffering from
depression, school phobia, school avoidance, anxiety disorders, and other debilitating issues.

With early intervention, troublesome behaviors and

symptoms that interfere with academic and social
functioning can be mitigated; however, if left
unchecked the problems can become very severe
and necessitate more restrictive intervention.
Early identification and treatment of emotional difficulties in children can increase the reach and costeffectiveness of special education services for students in need of additional support.

The Progressive Least Restrictive Environment (PLRE) is the Sage Day response to creating a
learning environment that meets the needs of students who would otherwise not be successful in a
mainstream education system.
PLRE offers emotionally fragile students the unique resources and support they need to succeed in
school and in life by offering:

A continuum of services ranging from in-district supportive therapy to short or longer-term

placement in a therapeutic school.

Consistent evaluation for appropriate intervention and specialized care services.

Comprehensive transition services depending on student progress, in an effort to increase

success in the mainstream social and academic environment.

This variable level of care gives Sage Day and school districts the opportunity to work together to
provide the most effective and transformational interventions to students in need.

Sage Day is a private,

accredited, therapeutic school
for students grades 4-12.
By following Common Core and rigorous Elementary and Secondary School standards, Sage Day
maintains a progressive and challenging educational experience. Success comes from providing
students with a small, personalized learning environment.

The Sage Day motto is to complement strong

academics with comprehensive clinical support
programs, including:

Counseling

Classroom observation

In-service presentations to school staff

Support and consultation of selfcontained programs

Intensive individual, group, and family therapy

are also fully integrated into the program as
effective components of intervention.

Students receive academic guidance as well as the support services and counseling they require.
Students will gain the support, strategies, and insight they need in order to make progress in school

and to better manage their emotional lives.

By joining the Sage Day community, students often find renewed confidence and academic success.

Community is a central aspect to the success of Sage Day schools.

Students are expected to:

Be productive and conscientious members of the school community.

Form bonds and learn to cooperate and rely on one another.

Make meaningful contributions to Sage Day and the greater community.

Clearly, Sage Day schools have earned their reputation as a place to belong.

Sage Day consultation services are designed to fill the gap in service between traditional in-school
support and an out-of-district placement.
The Sage Day team works with the child study team, academic staff, and administration to provide a

seamless counseling experience for a student in transition.

By implementing these vital therapeutic services, public schools can enhance their programs to meet
the needs of more students, which dramatically increases the number of students maintained in-district.

Sage Day schools and services offer comprehensive programs to aid teachers and

administrative staff in implementing effective education and care to emotionally

fragile students. For more information regarding our campuses and services, visit
