School Notes

Our mission is to provide a safe, supportive, positive, and enthusiastic learning environment for children diagnosed with forms of high functioning autism. We work with families and the community to empower students to feel happy and accepted while instilling the social, vocational, academic, and independent living skills needed to fulfill their individual dreams.

Students must be diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and must fall in the high functioning range of the autism spectrum.
