OUR STUDENTS

No two Hibernian students are alike, but what most have in common is their struggles in traditional school settings.

It may have been shyness, academic challenges, bullying, mental health, attendance issues, or the need for an abbreviated schedule that brought them here, but we are happy to have them!
