Special Education

At Alturas Preparatory Academy, teachers practice diversification in multi-age classrooms. Educators grow students from their academic levels, not their grade levels. Students will be empowered to learn, grow, lead, and take responsibility for their learning.  Students are taught at their instructional levels but also mentor and support each other in project-based learning. Teachers utilize a variety of methods and tools while teaching in small groups at instructional levels to ensure that each student has measurable academic growth each year.  

Students are continually evaluated to ensure that academic growth is being made. The teachers are very responsive to student needs and are in regular contact with the parents. When a disability is suspected by either the parent or the teacher, a team meets to determine the next steps. Alturas Preparatory Academy strives to meet all State and Federal Regulations with regards to educating and serving student needs.
