TEC Special Education Programs

TEC is committed to providing specialized learning environments that foster academic, social, and emotional growth for students with unique learning needs. Our special education programs include:

  • TEC Campus School – Serving students ages 3-21, TEC Campus School (TCS) provides personalized multi-sensory instruction to meet individuals’ learning, communication, social, emotional, motor, behavioral, daily living, and transition goals. Our team of educators, therapists, and specialists work collaboratively to support students in achieving their fullest potential.

 

  • TEC High School – Serving students in grades 8-12, TEC High School (THS) provides personalized support in a therapeutic environment to students whose struggles with anxiety and depression have hindered their ability to succeed in a traditional high school setting. In a small school setting, the educators at THS work alongside licensed clinicians to support students in achieving both academic and personal goals.

 

  • TEC Academy – TEC Academy provides a small, structured, and supportive environment for students who face social, emotional, and behavioral challenges that interfere with their ability to participate in a general education setting. With a low student-to-staff ratio, TEC Academy takes a “whole student” approach, integrating academics with therapeutic support, emphasizing skill-building, social-emotional development, and academic achievement, so that students gain the tools and confidence they need to succeed in school and beyond. TEC Academy serves students in grades K-2 at its Lower Campus and students in grades 6-12 at its Phoenix Campus.
