ECPP & CTEP Programs

Education That Meets Your Child Where They Are

Tailored support for students who need more than a traditional classroom. We partner with healthcare and community agencies to ensure safety, stability, and academic success.

Some students need more support than a traditional school can provide. Education and Community Partnership Programs (ECPP/CTEP) help students continue learning while receiving specialized care.

Education and Community Partnership Programs (ECPP) and Care, Treatment, Custody and Correctional Education Programs (CTEP) support students whose needs cannot be met in a regular school setting.

These programs work in partnership with healthcare providers and community agencies to provide both education and specialized support in a safe, structured environment.

Each program is designed around the individual needs of students, with a focus on wellbeing, stability and a successful transition forward.
