4. Collaboration and Planning

A multidisciplinary team works together to create individualized plans that support academic growth and social-emotional development.

5. Accessible Across Locations

By using virtual tools, we ensure that students in all our rural Utah locations have access to the full range of special education services.

Benefits of Special Education

Education Specialist

Every student is assigned an Education Specialist (ES) who is a licensed educator with experience in education in the home environment. The ES works with parents to track student progress and ensure that the student and parents are receiving support to meet the educational needs of the student.

Curriculum

The school will provide families with both online and physical curriculum based on the students’ academic level. Parents will work with the ES to custom design a curriculum specific to each student. Athenian uses a multi-tier system of support to meet each student’s particular academic needs. Additional student support is provided for students who need assistance.

EPIC Day - Engaging, Practicing, Incorporating, Cultivating

Most parents and students agree, EPIC Day is the best part of our program! Once a week students get together to participate in hands-on educational history, science, and social studies activities that incorporate arts, humanities, and PE activities that align with the state core standards. EPIC Days are geography-based, rotating two years on world history, one year for American history, and one year on Utah history.

Field Trips

One local field trip a month and 3-4 program-wide field trips a year.

Elective Classes

Parents have a choice of students participating in various humanities classes, including art, music, or theater classes or physical education classes. Individual activities vary per location.

One Book One School

In an effort to increase literacy and family togetherness we participate in the One Book One School program. A couple of times a year, students are given the same book and families are encouraged to read together. We have a culminating “book club” activity at EPIC Day where activities are based upon the book. The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate, and Snow Treasure by Marie McSwigan.
