Mission

Our Student Support Department understands that all efforts to improve school climate, safety, and learning are not separate endeavors. This department will support students, parents, administration, faculty, and school staff by implementing a philosophy about behavior and classroom management based on educational and psychological principles and encouraging strategies to develop all the components of the school community’s emotional intelligence.

Manatee School For the Arts implements a restorative justice approach to discipline. This means that students receive natural and logical consequences, learn from misbehavior, and repair any damaged relationships.
