About

Our Mission

To provide high quality specialized instruction in order to advance independence and promote learning in the least restrictive environment for students identified with special needs.

Educational Life Skills (ELS)

Students with significant impairment in their cognitive, adaptive behavior, communication, and/or academic functioning.

  • A functional academic curriculum is the foundation for the program, with a focus, on life skills to facilitate independence.
  • Opportunities for social and academic integration with age-appropriate peers in the general education setting.
  • Community-based learning experiences which foster the application of life skills within the context of the community.
  • Coffee Cart and Work Crew Placements with our Round Lake Community partners or businesses.

Learning Appropriate Behaviors (LAB)

Students whose behavior needs are so significant that they require their general education academic curriculum be provided in a more restrictive educational setting. The classroom utilizes point sheets and behavior level systems. 

Instructional Programs

The High School Instructional Program is a same cross-categorical program with an increased focus on vocational training, including participation in our Panther Work Crew placements with our Round Lake community business partners. Students are required to meet all RLHS graduation requirements.
