Artemis Place is an independent, integrated life skills and educational program which provides a unique alternative to traditional school for girls in our community who are overlooked by existing programs. Our students are girls at risk, often facing multiple barriers including poverty, violence, substance abuse, lack of family support and learning challenges.
Our Alumni chose the name Artemis to represent the empowering nature of our program. Artemis, goddess of the hunt, was a powerful figure in Greek mythology; deeply connected to her own power and unwilling to let anyone take it away from her. Throughout the last 33 years, girls have credited our programs, staff and philosophy with supporting their development into strong, independent, successful women.
At Artemis Place , we believe in the power of girls. We know girls can do amazing things when they feel safe, supported and able to learn in their own way.
