Our Programs

At Behailu Academy we offer a range of arts classes and academic support to students from some of our area's underserved schools. We offer our students a chance to find positive modes of expression in an environment that encourages creativity, academic achievement, and mutual support.

Arts

Our students choose from a number of arts classes during each of our three sessions throughout the year. Drawing, painting, theatre, photography, music, and martial arts are all part of our programming.

Academics

Our academic coordinator helps our students focus on what matters most. From grades to graduation requirements, and beyond, we're focused on helping our students do their best in school.

Life Skills

Living and working in community with others. Using good communication skills. Seeking creative solutions to life's challenging issues. We help our students learn to navigate, and to chart a healthy course through life.

Beyond

Behailu Academy is in the process of developing programming to address the seemingly cavernous stretch between high school graduation, and all that lies ahead. In the coming months we will be unveiling our approach to giving our students the best chance for success in life.
