Special Education Services

The Special Education program at Mountain Lakes High School provides classified students with a variety of educational services and supports.

Students have the opportunity to improve their work, study, and organizational skills in a class entitled Learning Strategies. This class reviews basic academic concepts and reinforces curriculum goals.

In-class-support is offered in a co-teaching instructional setting in a number of classes throughout various curricular disciplines. Both general education and special education teachers collaborate to provide instructional accommodations to students.

Small-group instruction is provided in English, Social Studies, and Math to students who may benefit from a more individualized educational approach. In some cases, 1:1 instructional aides are provided for students who need closely monitored assistance.

Students’ educational programs are administered and monitored by the MLHS Child Study Team.
