The Mission
When I started this school, my goal was simple: to leave a mark on someone’s life in hopes that they would live a better life than I did—and then leave their mark on someone else’s.
These first 10 years have been nothing short of amazing. As we look ahead, we are more inspired than ever to make the next 10 years even better.

Parent Talk at the Cafe'
Do you ever wonder why your kids don't talk to you? Why they open up to strangers but not the person feeding, clothing, and housing them? Maybe it's time to take a look at yourself. When you speak to them, do you sound more like a cop or an angry teacher demanding answers they don’t have?
Parents often get upset when their children don’t meet expectations, instead of reflecting on the energy they're putting out. If you're constantly projecting the belief that your child will fail, chances are, they will. But when you consistently model the behavior and values you want to see, and provide time and space for growth, your child will develop in their own time.
As parents, we need to be mindful of the energy we bring. Instead of just telling our kids what to be, we need to show them—and support them. Think of it like this: if you pull up in a beat-up Dodge Caravan trying to impress a girl, she’ll likely keep walking. But if you show up in a Ferrari, suddenly you don’t have to work so hard for attention—because now you fit the description of someone she wants to talk to.
In the same way, parents need to lower the temperature and ease off unrealistic expectations. Offer an understanding ear instead of a lecture. If you want your kids to open up, you’ve got to ease up.
