Greenhouse classrooms are
staffed by special education credentialed
teachers and experienced
instructional aides. Student eligibility
may be established by any
handicapping condition, most commonly
learning handicapped or
emotionally disturbed designation.
After careful assessment, students
work toward individual educational
goals in a highly structured
and motivating environment.
Students participate in
meal planning, food shopping and
assist in preparing a hot meal at
lunch time. Many of the wilderness
trips are accompanied by a
thematic unit of instruction in the
classroom. A solid core of academic
instruction, along with the
extended school year, allows students
to obtain high school credits
and focus on specific skill needs.
Greenhouse staff assist students
in vocational or G.E.D.
preparation as well as traditional
high school graduation requirements.
Working with each student’s
long term goals, our school
staff assist with reintegration to a
district setting or community college
classes.
