SAVE SCHOOL

The CCMC School provides comprehensive special education programs for students ages 4 to 21 years who require intensive intervention due to severe emotional, behavioral, physical and/or learning problems.

The school is designed to provide a high level of structure and support, as well as an integrated package of services to address each child's unique educational, therapeutic, vocational, social, emotional, and developmental needs.

The goal of the CCMC School is to foster the development of independence in social, emotional, behavioral, and academic skills so that students may be transitioned back to their home school district.

We believe that children can realize their potential given an environment that is supportive, developmentally appropriate, and geared to specific individual needs.

We are dedicated to the development of a sense of cooperation, self-motivation, adjustment, and academic accomplishment for each child.
