New but dedicated and thriving

This is the second year for the Paradise Valley campus. We started with approximately 70 students and this school year we have grown to 115 and counting. We have a full-time counselor who is also certified in art therapy. We have a support dog, Mr. Ozzy who brings joy to our students and staff daily. Our Rising Stars and Step Ahead classrooms are equipped with a kitchenette and their own restroom.

“Faith was struggling so hard in the regular public school. She dreaded going to school to the point of becoming physically sick from her anxiety. Since starting at Austin Centers, she now loves school. She’s excited to learn. She will never admit to this but we can tell she really loves it there. Kudos to the entire staff!”
