The adolescent years are defined by a natural tran The adolescent years are defined by a natural transition from adult to peer approval and validation. This creates a beautiful evolution into young adulthood interconnecting dynamic moments of suffering and confusion mixed with freedom and expansion.

Our Omega Middle Schoolers start each school year with an overnight trip that centers the social and emotional domains. Students spend two days and one night connecting, learning about one another, and developing or deepening friendships while engaged in outdoor activities, games, group centering, and more. What a wonderful start to the school year!
