EEA Charter School for teens at-risk of failing was founded on the NAREN 9.  The National At-Risk Education Network has developed 9 principles that research has shown are effective in working with teens.  We believe in forming positive relationships with students, their families and other significant adults. In addition, we involve community members in the lives of the young adults we teach. Below are some of the resources we have found useful!
