AEC Center is a parent/guardian choice program for students who are having difficulties conforming to a traditional school setting. This program provides a safe, supportive, and structured environment for academic, personal, and social growth by engaging students in practical academic applications, technology and skills to be successful. Attention is focused on helping students close academic and behavioral gaps in order for them to be successful. Character education, contingency contracting, a level system and a token economy are used to motivate students throughout the day. Family involvement is a high priority. Parents/guardians are contacted via phone and email on a regular basis and also receive a weekly progress report on their child which informs them of their child’s behavioral and academic progress.
Additionally, the AEC Center also has Emotional Support and Day Treatment Programs. These programs are designed to provide additional supports for students with unique needs.
