Individual Support Program
The Individual Support Program, for students with severe to profound developmental delays, occupies a classroom and a small, enclosed courtyard which features a rock waterfall, wooden bridge, limestone pathway, and shrubbery, along with a pagoda with spruce log seats and teaching stone. The courtyard, created in 2005, is used as a "Living Classroom" as well as for high school activities and community events. About 20 students are in the program, ranging in age from 14 to 20.
Judges for the 2006/07 School–Community Public Relations Awards selected "The Living Classroom," for the School Award of Excellence.
