Designed for: Special Education Students
Center for Alternative Specialized Education (C.A.S.E.) – This program is designed for Special Education Students who are experiencing academic and behavioral difficulties that interfere with learning in a traditional classroom setting, including those students with suspensions and expulsions from their home school or district. We provide an alternative school setting on our Oxford and Hazel Park campuses. Students experience an intensive five-day a week program designed to equip them for their eventual successful return to their home school setting. Each youth in this program receives individual counseling, adventure therapy, social skills training and problem solving skills. Private pay options are available.
