Students have an Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) that is developed by a school district team and specifies the student’s disability, goals and
objectives for an educational placement. KBPS includes social skills development , adventure based learning, counseling groups, and behavior management.

Population

30-36 students from grades 5-12 are referred by Special Education Departments of their sending school districts.
