WeBelong School's Mission is to provide emotionally safe, socially supportive, and academically rich learning environments to students on a healing journey of recovery from emotional trauma.  We serve children and adults who benefit from our creative and self-aware Compassionate Curriculum based on Social-Emotional Learning (SEL - click arrow below). 

​

At WeBelong, our Vision is a Safe Haven School for students on a path of emotional healing who choose self-directed learning in the privacy and protection of their own home, our campus, or an alternative program.  (See our educational philosophy on our Bibliography page.)  Because WeBelong School (WeBS) has the option of a blended or online-only  learning environment it has the flexibility and capacity to meet students literally where they are.  WeBelong's theme is water because of its healing attributes.  Our campus is near the Atlantic Ocean; you will see examples of water's restorative properties all over the school and this website.  Please relax and enjoy!

​

WeBelong's population  consists of online and residential students, both children and adults, who are on a path of emotional healing and recovery within our Compassionate Curriculum.  Our students represent the diversity of all social classes, races, gender identities, abilities, cultures, and ethnicities.  A few live on our campus; most are far-flung across the globe (see map).  We are all connected online through our unique Social Safety Net.  Together we make a community of the whole world.

​

WeBelong School's Funding sources are a private/public partnership financing  

a residential and online program whose physical location is in Eastern Long Island and 

virtual location is world-wide.  Donations, tuition, corporate sponsorships, grants, and

miracles make our program affordable and almost universally available.  If you're not 

sure you can attend but truly wish to, apply anyway, because we do believe in miracles!

​

WeBelong's Staff and Board of Directors have as members certified psychologists and teachers, natural, medical, and spiritual healers, and online and protection experts who have undergone rigorous, extensive training in emotional healing.
