Special Education

Coastal Academy High School Department of Special Education’s mission ensures that children with disabilities receive a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE). We accomplish this by working collaboratively with families, students, teachers, and other professionals to promote student success through individualized learning and support.

Coastal Academy High School is committed to serving the needs of all students. Our schools believe that the Least Restrictive Environment begins in the general education classroom/setting for all students, and supplemental aids and services are added to students’ education settings according to their individual needs.

Students identified as having learning or behavioral disabilities are provided a comprehensive range of services as specified in students’ Individualized Education Plans (IEPs). Coastal Academy High School Special Education program includes various services for students found eligible under the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

Coastal Academy High School believes in a team approach: student, parent, general education teacher, special education teacher, and instrumental team member. This team works together to create and execute a plan to make the student most successful.
