Full Inclusion
We work closely with the Hope School District to implement our Inclusion Program. This is a highly respected special education program that is vital to the success of our local community. It also provides our school with extra staffing and experts in the areas of speech, language, physical, occupational, and behavioral therapy. We are excited to have such an outstanding resource in our school.
