My name is Teresa Jaap and I am a teacher at Journeys Academy in Sanford, Florida. Journeys Academy is the alternative school in Seminole County Florida for students who would possibly be expelled. These are at risk students who have made wrong decisions. Our mission is to treat these children with kindness and respect and give them the skills that they will need to be successful in their home schools. Most students will either spend a semester or full year at our school. During this time we look at their academics, and their well being to insure that they have what they need. Once they leave our school we feel they are better prepared to handle the situations that they are put into at their home school and will succeed in their classrooms. Our goal is to help all students succeed.
