The ultimate goal is that the last day of school looks like the first day of the rest of their life.
More About The Menta Group The Menta Group’s mission is “To provide innovative solutions to critical problems in education and human services.” Menta brings a framework of educational practices that have been designed and are supported through evidence-based practices. Menta’s collaborative process with various school and community stakeholders has resulted in programs designed to educate, support, challenge, empower and celebrate students who present with a range of academic, social, and emotional needs. At the beginning of a student’s experience with Menta, a collaborative meeting is held that includes the student, significant people in their lives, Menta staff, and other professionals as appropriate. During that meeting, a comprehensive assessment of the student’s past, present, and future desires is used to establish a student-centered plan (MAP) that serves as a foundation of the student’s Menta programming. A guiding principle of Menta is ‘we do not give up, while also holding our students and staff to high expectations. The educational offerings at a Menta program provide students with a quality education that is designed to nurture and enhance the skills and maturity needed to meet the challenges of being productive adults and citizens in a rapidly changing 21st-century world.
Menta’s programs utilize a unique curricular framework that relies on the Expanded Menta Method and Trauma-Informed Practices as the foundational principles for the teaching, counseling, and mentoring work done by our highly trained staff. Personalized learning is the hub of our strategic curricular design intended to meet the needs of every student. Starting with the end in mind (learning targets and academic goals), a leveraging of current technologies coupled with highly trained instructional facilitators creates a rich learning environment supporting all student needs. Menta’s learning spaces are unique and specially designed to combine traditional teacher/student interaction with state-of-the-art technology and learning innovations. Those learning spaces are flexible and can accommodate a variety of learning activities, such as inquiry learning and project-based learning. Our spaces are designed to mimic productive spaces learners would find in the business and/or corporate environments, thereby helping students achieve a mindset designed for adult learning and work.
