Graduation Support

At The Matthews House, we are dedicated to empowering students to achieve their academic and personal goals. Our unique graduation support programs are designed to assist students within several Poudre School District High Schools, providing a lifeline for those who have faced challenges such as struggling with attendance or needing credit recovery.

We believe that every student deserves the opportunity to succeed, regardless of the obstacles they may have encountered. Our programs are tailored to meet the individual needs of each student, offering a supportive and encouraging partnership that fosters growth and success.

Our Approach

Unlike traditional support programs, The Matthews House takes a personalized approach. We are embedded within the schools but operate with a distinct philosophy that emphasizes:

Individualized Support: We work closely with each student to understand their unique circumstances and develop a customized plan that addresses their specific needs and goals.
Building Trust: Establishing strong, trusting relationships is at the core of our work. Our team is dedicated to creating a safe and supportive space where students feel valued and understood.
Community Connection: We help students build their personal communities, providing them with the resources and connections they need to thrive both during and after their high school journey.

Services We Offer

Credit Support and Recovery:

For students who are behind schedule to graduate, we offer individualized support to help them get back on track, both during the school year and during the summer months. Our program includes personalized academic support, advocacy within the school environment, in-person support for credit recovery during the summer months, and continuous progress monitoring.

Truancy Intervention:

We provide targeted interventions for students struggling with attendance. Our team works to identify the underlying issues contributing to truancy and develop strategies to improve attendance and engagement.

Dropout Prevention:

Our dropout prevention efforts focus on re-engaging students who have left school. We offer one-on-one mentoring, academic support, and career planning to help them return to school and complete their education.

Success Beyond Graduation

Our commitment to students doesn’t end with graduation. We prepare them for life beyond high school by:

Future Planning:

Assisting with identifying a plan for students after graduation, including college applications, vocational training, and career exploration.

Skill Development:

Providing training in essential life skills such as financial literacy, job readiness, and communication.

Ongoing Support:

Offering continued mentorship and access to resources as students transition into adulthood.
