The Menta Group

Founded in 1973, The Menta Group holds firmly to the belief that every child has the right to be in school. This belief has led to a continuum of services designed to meet the educational and social-emotional needs of the broad range of students. With a ‘no refusal, no suspension, no expulsion’ policy, students are provided the services that they need, when they need them, regardless of their behavior. The goal is to ensure that each of our students becomes college-ready, career-ready, and citizenship-ready.

We currently operate 22 programs and 16 schools throughout Illinois and Arizona. These evidence-based programs are designed to meet the specific needs of school districts and range from onsite programs and training of staff and administrators to establishing new schools. In our over 40 years of experience, we have seen students who did not succeed in regular classrooms make tremendous strides within our programs.
