Families enrolling in the Redstick Cares Microacademy must also register their student with University View Academy (UVA), a free online public charter school. 

Redstick Cares is not affiliated with UVA. We are an independent, private-pay program designed to enhance your child’s educational experience—not replace their school enrollment.

By combining UVA’s online curriculum with our in-person support, students benefit from a hybrid learning model that includes:

• Structured academic support for online coursework

• Social interaction and peer engagement

• Life skills and “healthy adulting” classes

• Career exploration and job shadowing opportunities

• Guidance and planning for life after high school

This model allows your teen to stay on track academically while gaining the real-world skills and confidence they need for adulthood.

High school students will have group learning and socialization opportunities by attending their classes and study groups at Redstick CARES on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8:30 - 3:00 .

We have a licensed educator who serves as a Learning Coach to support and guide the students through their work, help students with organization, provide emotional and behavioral support, and support 504 Plans and IEPs.

Additional classes based on need such as Executive Function, Life After High School, and Healthy Adulting are built into student schedules.

Additional supports and services are available on our campus, such as mental health counseling, cooking classes, movement classes, music lessons and more.

Relevant field trips such as college tours and career shadowing are scheduled once a month.
