"Thank you Gifford teachers and staff! Our child being at Gifford has changed everything. He wants to attend school. He is engaged. He talks about friends and teachers in a positive way.
Thanks to the Gifford teachers and staff, our child is talking about their plans for “when they grow up.” They see possibilities for themself. They have hope for their future success - amazing transformation from when they were in the local public system.
Gifford teachers and staff helped our child see themself as a smart, capable, valued student in a community. They recognize that they are just like everyone else, an individual with their own learning needs and preferences and challenges. In their previous academic setting they were labeled as an outlier and defined by their differences."
- Wendy and Jon B., parents of high school student
