"We are committed to providing a great educational experience to prepare every student for the future."
Our Mission: To provide excellent individualized instruction and support to young adults with disabilities transitioning from high school into post-secondary life so they can become contributing members of our community.
We help students transition from high school into postsecondary life--whatever that may look like for each individual depending on what the student (and/or their family) needs and/or wants.
