Overview

We are a school for high school aged students with special needs. We serve students diagnosed with various disabilities including cognitive delays, autistic spectrum disorders (ASD), multiple disabilities, and speech and language delays. Our school emphasizes transition into adult life and independence, we therefore maintain partnerships with various community businesses and organizations who help us to provide work experience for our older students.

Vision

​
​We envision a school in which all students, regardless of background, become independent and productive members of our community to the greatest extent possible.
