Students who demonstrate acceptable academic, emotional and behavioral growth are encouraged to begin reintegrating back into public school. We work very closely with local schools and district personnel to allow transition to occur as smooth as possible. The staff at Journey includes three Special Education teachers, a teachers aide, a social worker, and a counselor. The teaching staff provide an academic and elective curriculum that meet State and local graduation requirements. Thus, most credits earned while at Journey are transferable to any high school in the state.
All students receive annual educational testing and speech and language assessments.
The counseling staff are available to provide crisis intervention, facilitate various therapeutic groups and occasionally teach elective classes. We also offer a vocational program that allows students to begin learning about responsibilities of employment. For older students, we help coordinate vocational testing, career exploration, job placement assistance and referral to work experience programs. During summer months, we coordinate with the Private Industry Council which provides site monitoring and various types of work opportunities for our students.
