The Genesis School is a public separate school designed to meet the needs of students, kindergarten (K) through grade twelve (12), in special education who have been identified as having behavioral/emotional disabilities.  A student struggling with behavior issues had a goal to attend vocational school.  This student was able to work toward her goal with improved behavior, renewed confidence and a new attitude, which will result in her being able to transition back to her home school district and then ultimately move on to the career center next year. We are excited that she will be moving forward with her education and life prepared to face obstacles with a newfound sense of acceptance, ability to manage her emotions and meet the goals she has set for herself.

Students at Genesis School receive direct, specialized instruction in social and emotional learning as well as academics in a small group setting.  Each classroom is facilitated by a teacher and at least one paraprofessional. In addition to intense instruction in social and emotional learning and academics, students enrolled in the Genesis School receive behavioral health support services from Child Focus.
