Our Approach

Relational Approach

We take the time to determine where students are academically and set appropriate targets for their achievement that bolster foundational skills.

Collaborative Problem Solving™

CPS is used to encourage the development of specific executive-functioning skills through a step-by-step problem solving process to work through academic, social, and personal challenges experienced at school.

Individualized Programming

Every student receives an individualized academic plan of core competencies and goals developed by our teachers, in collaboration with the student, parent, and LEA.

Admissions

Criteria

We serve students with varied IEP classifications, including but not limited to: Autism Spectrum Disorder, Emotional Disabilities, Intellectual Disabilities, Specific Learning Disabilities, and Other Health Impairments.

Process

Student’s educational representative (LEA) fills out a referral form. Supporting documents should accompany the referral:

- Current IEP
- Eligibility
- Educational Evaluation
- Psychological Evaluation or Social History (if available)
- If a student has been hospitalized or placed in a residential setting, we require a discharge summary from that placement.

2. The Admissions Coordinator reviews the information and schedules a tour and interview through the LEA or directly with the student and parent/legal guardian.

3. The student, guardian, and LEA (on occasion) visit the school. After a tour, they meet with the admissions team to discuss the student’s needs.

4. The admissions team evaluates the information and makes a recommendation to accept or deny admission based on whether or not they feel like they can support the student. The Admissions Coordinator notifies the LEA and guardian of the admissions decision within 24 hours of the visit. The LEA receives a formal acceptance letter that can be used to notify transportation.

5. The student, guardian, and LEA either accept or decline the admission offer. In the event they accept, it’s explained that the student’s start date is dependent upon all supporting documentation/paperwork being received and the guardian begins the enrollment process.
