A dedicated coach to help you thrive
Individual coaching
A coach occupies a different kind of role in a young adult's life: a coach is not a teacher, a friend, a parent, or a therapist.
A coach serves as a supportive thought partner; a practical, skill- and action-oriented companion who helps the student gain the skills and confidence they need to navigate middle and high school, and beyond.

“The adolescent must never be treated as a child, for that is a stage of life that he has surpassed. It is better to treat an adolescent as if he had greater value than he actually shows than as if he had less and let him feel that his merits and self-respect are disregarded. ”
Achieve your goals
Adolescence is a period of immense growth, when students are looking to define who they are, where they belong, and what they can contribute to a community. This is a time of goal-setting: trying to figure out both WHAT you want, and HOW to achieve it.
At ATI, every student works with a personal coach to scaffold and support this process of growth and transition.
