Welcome to

18-21 and GEAR

The 18-21 and GEAR programs are separate special education pathways designed to support students based on their IEP goals. GEAR helps K–12 students with social-emotional or behavioral challenges return to a traditional school setting through targeted academic and behavioral support. The 18-21 program prepares young adults with daily living, community, and vocational skills for greater independence after high school. These programs aim to empower students to achieve their fullest potential in and beyond the classroom.
