Amherst Education Center

Middle School (8^th grade only) General Education Program

Monday - Friday, 8:00 am - 2:20 pm

The purpose is to meet the needs of middle school students who experience extreme difficulties in adjusting to the regular school environment due to behavioral, social, and/or academic concerns. Direct teaching in the core subjects will be utilized. The goal of the program is to employ intervention strategies to assist in reshaping the student's behavior in order to successfully return them to their regular school environment. The duration of the program is one academic school year.  There are 12 slots available for students.

Four slots are available for students with disabilities and a current Individualized Education Plan (IEP) who experience extreme difficulties in adjusting to their regular school environment and display significant behavioral, social, and/or academic challenges that may or may not be directly related to their identified disabilities.
