Saccly (Structure d'accueil pour jeunes à besoins spécifiques fréquentant des lycées) is a residential group for young people. At the Saccly, 12 boys and girls between the ages of 13 and 17 are taken care of, as they need intensive school and family support. The prerequisite for admission is attendance at a post-primary school in the north of the country.
The care is provided in a pedagogically structured environment. The aim of the stay at Saccly is to improve the pupil's academic and personal situation in cooperation with all those involved (parents, young people, school, etc.). In addition to individual and group activities to support the personal and social development of the young people, we attach great importance to individualised academic and professional support. The duration of the stay is limited to 2 years.
FOR 16 YEARS, THE SACCLY TEAM HAS SUPPORTED HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS OVERCOMING THEIR CHALLENGES
Saccly (residential structure for high school students with special needs) is a youth residential group. Five girls and seven boys attending classes in Nordstad secondary schools receive intensive academic and family support. Admission is mainly voluntary, arranged by the legal guardian with school SePas professionals, often following school concerns that a student's academic path and living situation are at risk, requiring temporary family separation and additional socio-educational measures. The main objective is social and academic guidance toward a positive, independent life based on individual strengths. Saccly's structured framework, regular guardian contact, and ongoing teacher collaboration foster multi-level maturity. Extracurricular activities, individual pursuits, and group/individual discussions teach responsibility and community engagement. Maximum stay: 2 years, extendable to complete the school year. Early goal achievement enables gradual family reintegration.
EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS TO SUPPORT YOUNG PEOPLE
The support team is available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. It consists of qualified and certified educators. Two educators are exclusively responsible for the academic domain, monitoring progress and maintaining close contact between Saccly and the school.
