About Skyline Academy
Operated by WellPower at the Dahlia Campus for Health and Well-Being, Skyline Academy is an intensive day treatment facility for students in 1st through 8th grades. It serves remarkable young people who have struggled in traditional public school settings as a result of behaviors, strong emotions, peer relationships, trauma, or identified educational disabilities, helping students and families identify what they need to be as successful as possible both in and outside of school.
Students learn best when they are understood, accepted, and feel safe. Skyline applies research-based treatment models that emphasize character development, social skills, and functional ways to express strong feelings. Every classroom holds a maximum of eight students with at least one mental health support staff member all day, and the school serves a maximum of 24 students total. Weekly individual and family therapy, daily social-emotional education, occupational and speech language therapy, and animal-assisted interventions are woven throughout the program.
Skyline partners closely with families and local school districts, collaborating on each student's Individual Education Plan, records, grades, and progress, with the long-term goal of returning students to their home school district. Enrollment is by referral, either through a school district's special education team based on a student's IEP, or through a Department of Human Services case worker or mental health provider.
