Overview
Desert Willow's full time school is a small high school community designed to not exceed the ratio of one teacher per six students.
The purpose is to create a physically and emotionally safe environment focusing on student success, both in school as well as after graduation.
Each student's curriculum is developed on an individualized basis, considering their academic history as well as their goals for the future.
We serve children with autism from 1st to 12th grade and into our Work Based Learning program.
Some students graduate with jobs; others go to college. All students are met where they are and supported towards independence, whatever that looks like for them.
