Accept Education Collaborative is a primary/secondary special education school. With our students at the center of everything we do, we provide high-quality special education programs for students from elementary through high school, with transition programs for students up to 22 years of age.

The professionals at ACCEPT are ever mindful of our guiding principles and work to ensure an environment of honesty, respect and excellence. Our teachers and specialists are hired for their hearts and for their minds, coming together to do something very important. They are all compassionate, highly-skilled and experienced professionals in their areas of expertise.

Great teachers are what really make the difference. Learning and sharing helps every professional improve his and her effectiveness. We train educators throughout the region, offering a broad range of professional development opportunities including workshops, courses for college credit, and on-line learning opportunities.

We help school districts actualize and improve their services for unique learners. We transport over 500 students with disabilities safely to over 125 locations every day. ACCEPT prides itself on its core partnering principle of responsiveness to the pressing needs of our member school districts. We understand the work districts are doing is critical and important and cannot wait. It takes energy, focus, commitment and skill from everyone involved.

All of us at ACCEPT, parents, educators and school districts are partners, intimately involved in the success of our students.  One team working together so all unique learners can receive an education maximizing their personal potential; skilled, supportive and passionate people helping our students get the education they deserve.
