OUR MISSION

To empower each student to pursue and reach his or her highest potential and individual milestone – by providing therapeutic learning using innovative and holistic methods in a professional, supportive, stable, and safe environment.

Our philosophy is simple: help each child reach personal goals based on his or her individual capability. This is achieved through a professional framework supported by dedicated and innovative teaching. At Milestone, students begin to believe in their own capabilities and begin to love to learn. Our goals stretch beyond teaching academic skills, by providing a comfortable and unique place of learning. We strive to transform these children from students to strong, independent, and constructive citizens.
