ETHS Therapeutic Day School
The ETHS Therapeutic Day School is a supportive public day program designed for students eligible for Special Education services. The Day School provides a specialized educational setting designed to support students with emotional, behavioral, or mental health needs that interfere with their learning in a traditional school environment. It is part of the continuum of services designed to meet students’ individual needs, integrating academic instruction with therapeutic support.
Our focus is on helping students build both academic skills and social-emotional strengths in a safe, caring environment that removes barriers to learning and success both inside and outside the classroom.
This placement offers:
-
A safe, structured setting with smaller class sizes
-
Individualized academic and social-emotional supports
-
Opportunities to build coping skills and self-advocacy
-
Access to campus resources while receiving specialized attention
The Day School allows students with complex needs to remain with their families in their communities and continue learning while receiving intensive behavioral support and therapy.
