The holistic program at Joseph C. Briscoe Academy includes a schoolwide behavior management system, social-emotional learning curriculum, small student-teacher ratio, intensive therapeutic services, and rigorous academic instruction. Students at Joseph C. Briscoe Academy work daily to build their social and emotional skill set, learning how to self-regulate their emotions and use adaptive coping skills. Our goal is to prepare them to return to a less restrictive environment in a traditional Baltimore City public school.
