The Four Keys
Welcome to the Positive Change Academy family. Moving to a new educational environment can feel like a big shift, but we are here to ensure your journey is successful, supported, and clear.
To help you navigate this change, we use a framework called the "4 Keys to a Successful Transition." These four pillars are the roadmap to your progress here.
Below are the specific standards every scholar is expected to meet to stay on track:
| Key | Requirement |
| Academics | You must maintain at least a "C" grade in every one of your classes. |
| Behavior | Success is measured by your daily choices; 85% of your point cards must be positive. |
| Counseling | Growth happens when you engage. We look for good participation in both group and individual counseling sessions. |
| Attendance | Being present is half the battle. A scholar cannot have more than 5 unexcused absences. |
Why These Keys Matter
These aren't just rules. They are tools for your personal transformation. By focusing on these four areas, you are building the habits necessary for life after this program.
-
Consistency: Meeting these goals shows that you are reliable and ready for more responsibility.
-
Support: If you find yourself struggling with any of these keys, it’s a signal for us to step in and provide extra help.
-
Growth: Mastering these "Keys" proves to yourself and your mentors that you have the discipline to succeed in any environment.
