About Menta Academy DeKalb K-12 and Menta Academy 912

The staff at Menta Academy DeKalb is dedicated to seeing each child reaches their potential in becoming 3-C Ready: College Ready, Career Ready, and Citizenship Ready.

Educational services are intended to meet both the developmental and individual learning needs of each student. Classrooms are designed to be active learning environments where young people have the opportunity to experience educational and behavioral success on a daily basis.

For students requiring intensive transitional services, a continuum of support is established. After earning necessary credits and demonstrating self-management of behaviors, students learn to generalize classroom skills in a community setting within Menta. This allows them to practice new skills and behaviors in a safe environment and be assessed through various methods.

Students learn employability skills such as problem-solving, effective communication, time-management, self-advocacy, community integration and transportation, adaptive living skills, and related work behaviors like grooming, hygiene, communication, following dress codes and schedules, completing tasks, and taking initiative.

Menta Academy Dekalb 912 is a collaboration with Dekalb Community School District 428 and like other Menta programs utilizes a unique curricular framework that relies on the Expanded Menta Method and Trauma Informed Practices as the foundational principles for the teaching, counseling and mentoring work done by our highly trained staff.
