High Road School of Wright City is where students with academic, emotional, and behavioral needs uncover their potential through individualized learning that goes beyond what most classrooms can offer. In our private day schools, we meet each student where they are.

Smaller class sizes and high-quality, student-centered instruction allow our teachers, therapists, and staff to build strong connections with each student in nurturing, respectful, structured, and positive learning environments. Drawing from a comprehensive range of specialized services, High Road educators implement Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) to help each student shine—at school, at home, and in the community.

Our students benefit from SESI’s Integrated Multi-Tiered Systems of Support that:

  • Individually support each student’s academic, behavioral, and emotional needs
  • Prevent barriers to learning in our classroom environments
  • Connect our team with students, staff, families and district partners to ensure the growth of essential skills outside of the classroom setting

Through evidence-based, data-driven instruction that is aligned with your student’s strengths and IEP goals, we meet your student where they are. In other words, we do not tier your student, we tier our supports to uniquely meet your student’s needs.

Strong relationships with our students, families, and school district partners are our highest priority. Together, we shine a bright light on the possibility and untapped potential of every High Road School student.

Related services offered at this school include counseling services, speech-language therapy, motor lab, and occupational therapy tailored to student needs.

  • My Son is Proud of Himself and His School

    I’m so thankful for High Road School of Wright City. Robert, my son, used to hate school so much. Once my son entered into High Road School, his life changed. He began to look forward to school. He began to learn basic skills, and he became a happier person overall. I’m so thankful that there is a place like that for him and this world.

    I’m very thankful for the teachers High Road School for helping my son and giving him the opportunity to be himself and grow within himself. He is a completely different person happier and he stopped some of the negative behaviors. He has learned very healthy coping mechanisms with his autism. He can dress himself and he can brush his teeth. He learned how to cope with his own anxieties and frustrations and healthy ways. He’s beginning to speak and contribute to a conversation with his family members and others and answer questions and tell his needs verbally.

    He comes home smiling and can tell me about his day. He comes home with rewards and he feels like he’s a part of something good. He’s proud of his school and he’s proud of himself. He looks forward to going to school every day and see that smile on his face is priceless and all a parent can hope for.
