The Academic Program

Richard Yoakley School provides an academic program designed to meet the individual needs of students assigned to the school. Grades six through twelve are served within the program. Our classrooms are all self-contained, meaning the students do not change classes for their basic academic classes. Certified teachers present all required subjects for students. Classes have a low student to teacher ratio. Approved textbooks and supplemental materials are used. Technology is a part of every learning environment. A comprehensive regular and special education curriculum are provided. Emphasis is placed on the competency skills required for the regular high school diploma. Learning skills and study habits are emphasized within the classroom to assist in a successful return to the students' zoned schools. The guidance counselor will assist in keeping the credits and the academic transition.
