The mission of RSEC is to raise the capability of parents and schools to help all children and youth be successful. Our programs offer unique learning environments to children ages six weeks to 22 years old, professional development to educators, and consulting services to schools and school districts. We provide challenging and supportive environments for students unable to thrive in traditional school settings at each of our five core programs: Sunrise Children’s Center, The RSEC Academy, Longview School, and Vista Learning Center.
