High School


Picture
Our special needs high school offers a comprehensive academic program. Up to 35 credits can be earned each year; these credits are transferred to the student’s high school transcript in his/her home school toward graduation. Upon completion of courses, a student is eligible for promotion or graduation within the local district. Many options are available to students after leaving The Center School: a return to the district high school, a vocational program, another private school, a college, the workplace, or any combination of the above. Shared-time programs with The Center School are also possible. High school teachers guide the student’s daily program. Homeroom periods provide a time for class meetings, socialization, and planned activities. Academic instruction is provided in small class settings with remediation and assistance always available.

Skill development is emphasized while varying degrees of departmentalization are introduced. Students begin learning to adapt to different teachers and class groups through many special programs that are tailored to meet the needs of each class. Students develop organizational skills, time management skills, increase personal responsibility, learn to self-advocate, and learn important decision making skills to prepare for returning to district or advancing on to either post-secondary educational opportunities or the workplace. Academic instruction and materials are adjusted for each student on a continuing basis.

NJ Core Curriculum Content Standards are addressed in the following areas:
  • Reading/Literature
  • Language Arts
  • Social Studies
  • Science
  • Mathematics
  • Spanish-World Cultures
