ESC School at West Amwell Special
Education
programs currently at our West Amwell campus provide
an individualized educational experience for classified
students ages preschool through 12th grade with emotional,
cognitive and/or multiple handicaps. Whenever appropriate,
the goal is to prepare students to return to their
sending school district.
The
Alternative
Program at ESC School at West Amwell provides
an out of district option for non-classified students
in grades 7-12. The smaller setting and alternate
location offers a fresh start to students motivated
to turn their educational experience around.
The curriculum covers all core content curriculum
standards. The innovative, thematic approach engages
students who previously found school less than stimulating.
Lessons are delivered in a manner that encourages
all students to become active learners.
The goal is to develop self-sufficient individuals
who are better able to function in both the local
and global community. The classroom extends beyond
the building to include the local YMCA, hiking trails,
museums, libraries and any other community resources
relevant to the lesson being studied.
