Middle & High School
The Middle and High School programs offer students a comprehensive academic experience and individualized instruction. Students are grouped by age but also by learning style and needs. As students progress through the program they participate in a steadily increasing assortment of transition-focused activities to become ready for life after high school. 16-year-old students who are ready for off-campus experiences attend internships as determined by their IEP team.
