The Foundation School offers primarily specialized programming to meet the unique needs of students with emotional disabilities who display a spectrum of behavioral problems, social skills impairment, and social-emotional needs. This is a comprehensive psycho-educational program that has been carefully designed to provide the academic and social/behavioral support needed for each student determined through the development and implementation of the student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP). The elementary, middle, and high school curricula, grades K-12, offer subject courses appropriate for elementary through high school and allow students to meet the requirements of their home school district.
