Alaska Crossings

Do you have a student who is struggling emotionally or behaviorally? 

Alaska Crossings is here to help!

Alaska Crossings is a short-term, intensive residential wilderness behavioral health program dedicated to helping youth learn and develop skills they need to succeed.

Youth who can benefit from Alaska Crossings during the school year include those who have been suspended, are failing classes, or are truant due to emotional and behavioral issues. 

Alaska Crossings works with struggling youth to develop individualized coping and behavior management skills that support successful integration back into the school setting upon their return home. 

We have immediate placement available for youth ages 12-18! 

We can provide a copy of our syllabus to your school so that your school can determine what academic credit may be awarded for participation in the program.

To learn more, or to help a family to begin the application process, please visit our website at www.alaskacrossings.org

2020 School Climate and Connectedness Survey

The Anchorage School District is partnering with the Association of Alaska School
Boards to conduct the School Climate and Connectedness Survey ©, a statewide
survey for students, staff, and families. This survey measures their perceptions of each
school’s climate including the engagement of students, staff, and families.
The Student Survey will be given to students in grades 7-12 at Steller Secondary
during the week(s) of January 17-31. Students will complete the survey online at
school.
Family Survey: We also value input from our families. You are an important
partner as we work to continually improve each school’s environment. Each
parent/guardian is asked to complete one survey during January 20 through
March 20.
