Special Education

The priority of Desert Heights Charter Schools is to meet the educational needs of our students and provide a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) to all.  If a student is eligible or determined to be eligible for special education services, we offer support services to reduce barriers to learning.

In collaboration with teachers, parents, and specialists we work to develop an educational plan that supports students and allows them to grow within our program. 

 The mission of our special education department is to provide the structure that will allow students to develop the skills needed to become independent thinkers and learners and to be able to carry those skills with them as they venture into the world beyond our doors.
