Curriculum
Transition concentrated. All facets of the curriculum relate
to transition and are individualized to meet the needs of the student.
Community based. All classrooms are involved in
community based instruction. Some classes work in various
hospitals, nursing homes and area shopping malls. Other classes learn to
use resources in the area such as banks, post offices, restaurants and
parks.
School to work focused.
By collaborating with the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic
Growth -
Rehabilitation Services, the school has been able to provide
students with individualized training, job coaching, vocational
evaluation, job development and work/study support. This component is in
addition to established classroom activities. The "School to
Work" program received the Governor's "Innovators to
Watch" Award, a statewide recognition.
