Virtual Trauma-Informed Schools: Mission Academy

Mission Academy logo

Heartache is a universal experience, yet we often feel alone. Things happen; choices are made, and before we know it, we wake up longing for change. No one grows up dreaming that they will not “fit in” to the “traditional” path, but when they find themselves on the detour route, it feels like a moving treadmill, going nowhere fast down an isolated road. 

“Traditional” opportunities may not have worked out, but there are alternative routes to success, now more than ever! Mission Academy is a free, public middle and high school online program serving Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Ventura counties.  They recognize that youth who have overcome challenges possess unique strengths and resiliency. Mission Academy offers a judgment-free, personalized opportunity to finally students where they want to go, with plenty of support by their side.
