Non-Public Schools

Sierra Vista's Non-Public Schools accepts children diagnosed as severely emotionally disturbed who qualify for this level of educational placement. Children from the community, as well as our Residential Program, receive education and mental health services in an environment that fosters academic, social, and emotional growth.

 

The program provides full academic assessment, specialized curriculum for learning disabilities, vocational education, crisis intervention, an activity program, and family counseling.

 

Instruction is designed to fit the individual needs of each student, kindergarten through eighth grade. Social skills training, art, music, drama, and community outings are some of the self-esteem building activities of the school program.

 

Students qualifying for specialty mental health services receive counseling and case management from clinical staff under the supervision of a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

 

The coordination between residential services and non-public school services provides consistent therapeutic programming that allows the quickest possible move to a less restrictive environment.

 

Enrollment Process
The schools provide educational and mental health services for children in kindergarten through eighth grade. A child may be enrolled in Sierra Vista's Non-Public School after an Individual Educational Plan (IEP) team decides it is the most appropriate educational placement.

 

There is no cost to the families of children in this program. The school district and the Special Education Local Planning Area in which the student resides fund placements in Sierra Vista's Non-Public Schools.
