Modified: Grade K-3

Modified & CASP

High school aged students working on academics from K-3 are placed in a multi-aged (12-14) group following either modified or CASP program. This classroom provides a consistent routine designed to support literacy and mathematics development. Expectations are differentiated to the level of the student. A student may spend multiple years within this program, but when a student is successful in their academics, they are placed into other modified classes that best fit their needs.

Competency-Based Approach to Social Participation (CASP) and Challenges are for students with Moderate to Severe intellectual difficulties. The students are evaluated on a variety of competencies rather than on academic knowledge.

The CASP program is designed for students younger than 15 years of age, and the Challenges program for students over 15 years of age.

The program provides essential learning targets for teachers to differentiate learning in order to help prepare students for a more autonomous and independent life after their schooling.

Challenges & PreWork

Everyone deserves the opportunity for success and independence. Once a student has turned 15 years of age and is working at an elementary school level, they are enrolled in the Challenges Program or Pre-Work Program. Challenges is designed as the next level for CASP students. The opportunity for a modified grouping like this provides us the means of redefining success for our students.

Both the Challenges and Pre-Work program are designed to prepare students for direct entrance into the workforce. Students want to develop their own independence and value, while learning to contribute positively to society.
