ABOUT
Evolve School
Our Evolve School Program is designed to provide a highly individualized, clinic-based educational experience for children who benefit from intensive behavioral and academic support. Students enrolled in this program “roll with us,” meaning they receive consistent, ongoing services tailored to their evolving needs across both learning and behavior domains. Due to the level of individualized care and continuity we prioritize, enrollment is limited and based strictly on availability. At this time, the program is currently full. However, we encourage both referring providers and families to reach out to be added to our waitlist. As openings become available, placements are offered based on clinical fit and order of inquiry to ensure each child receives the highest quality of support within our program.
