Grand Opening! - Center School Store - "The Dog House" Stop in soon!

Our mission is to mentor and support students in order to empower them to reach their fullest potential through a comprehensive program tailored to the specific needs of each student. Student programs are based on current research and goals/objectives as outlined in student Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). The ultimate goal for each Center School student is to be able to function well in whatever setting he/she may next experience. This may be a return to a local school, college, armed services, or any combination of these opportunities.

We now have a Private School Placement Toolbox available. It contains vital information and links to documents for famlies and advocates who want to get the private school admissions process started. Go to http://asah.org and click Toolbox.

School Hours:  8:45am – 2:30pm
