Mission Statement: To provide educational services to students (K-12), who are verified behaviorally disordered, in a therapeutic success-based program.
The Heartland school multi-disciplinary team will provide a physically and emotionally safe environment where students gain knowledge and skills, which will make them successful as mainstream individuals.
Goals:
- Students will gain knowledge and skills through an individualized education program (IEP) developed by the Heartland multidisciplinary team, the student, parents and home district officials.
- Students will gain increased physical and mental health through a success-based nurturing program in an environment with a low student to staff ratio. Students are constantly supervised in a physically small self-contained environment.
- Students will develop a positive self-image, responsibility to self, and the ability to function as self-directed individuals in mainstream situations through individualized instruction, social skill trailing and vocational transaction activities.
