STUDENT ON A STRING

Students at Gwaltney School are enrolled and withdrawn according to their individual treatment plan. Often, they arrive or leave treatment in the middle of a semester.
Using the web-based curriculum called Odysseyware, students who have left Jackson-Feild may continue to take high school curriculum subjects and GED preparation courses.
