Our students come to us with a variety of special education classifications, including, but not limited to:
Service Models and Solutions
Sierra Schools and Classrooms serve students from schools districts and charter schools across the state both in our schools or in a separate district run facility. Regardless of location, the proprietary methodology we implement in all locations fulfills all student IEP requirements, creates customized academic and behavior modification plans, provides vocational and transitional services, and delivers related services.
Finding the Right Fit for Walter
Walter, a teenager with autism, was struggling in his previous school. He experienced difficulty staying on his best behavior and had trouble understanding appropriate professional and personal boundaries among teachers and friends. Additionally, Walter’s academic performance was suffering. Three years ago, Walter enrolled at the Sierra School at Main Street, and his progress has been remarkable.
His father, Scott, says that “up until a few years ago, his vocabulary was just a few words – basically yes or no – there was no real communication. But over the last couple years, his communication skills have come along. He’s gotten to the point where he can deal with people socially and there aren’t any problems. He’s maturing. It’s definitely improved quality of life, both for him and for us.”

Misael, a sixth-grader at Sierra School at Barrett, is very close to reaching his goal of going on a school field trip to indoor skydive. Misael is adept at understanding the nature of our program and the expectations asked of him, and he’s committed himself to success. According to all three of his teachers, he’s transformed since the first day they met him.
