Residential Program
Our Residential Program is fully committed to our students’ success and well-being.
Hanna Academy’s residential program offers an opportunity for youth who reside too far away from the school to live on campus while receiving an specialized education and support. With a student-to-staff ratio of one staff member to six students, our residential program goes beyond school hours to provide recreation and case management.
Mr. Snowden was my favorite teacher; I really enjoyed learning from him. He introduced me to welding, the first path that I loved and could see making a career out of. He gave me focus where before, I had no direction.”

This is school where individuality is celebrated, student voices are centered, and fun has a purpose.
