East Mountain School
Student Population
Co-educational program for students in Grades 7-12
All students at East Mountain School have been classified as “behavioral disordered.” They may have been affected by a variety of psychiatric disorders as well as learning problems, and have difficulty interacting with others in and out of school. Prior to coming to us, these youths' problems have typically had a significant impact on their education, families and friends. Through our caring staff and continuum of services, East Mountain School has helped many students on a positive path to emotional, academic and professional success.
- Co-educational program for students in Grades 7 through 12. East Mountain School accommodates special education classes for upper elementary students (7th and 8th grade) and high school students in grades 9 to 12.
- Departmentalized program: students attend classes within a four-teacher teaching team, with each class having an assigned teacher aide.
- Self-contained classes are available for students who require a specialized classroom environment.
- Specialized program available for PDD/Asperger’s disabilities (pervasive developmental delay)
- Students may exhibit mild to moderate learning disabilities; many students have overlapping learning issues in addition to the behavioral disabilities that can impact learning. Programs are designed to provide a positive educational experience for children with multiple disabilities.
- Programs for students with varying intellectual abilities, from advanced through remedial classes available. The current program allows students to be placed based on their academic and behavioral needs. Maximum support for student success is built into each of the program areas, with each based on the student’s individualized IEP (Individualized Education Program).
- All students are referred by their district’s Child study team and placed as part of their formal classification process.
- Students admitted into the East Mountain Lodge residential program are able to attend the East Mountain School with approval of the student’s child study team and sending school district.
