Every child deserves the right school. Let's make sure we're yours.
Adapt Prep opens Fall 2026 with a small, intentional founding class. We're currently accepting inquiries and will work closely with each family to determine if Adapt Prep is the right fit for their child.
Adapt Prep works best when the fit is right for everyone.
We believe every child deserves a school that truly meets their needs. For some families, that's us. For others, it may be a program with a higher level of intensive support. Part of our admissions process is making sure we're genuinely the right environment for your child — and that we're set up to help them thrive from day one.
-
Students who can participate in small group learning — even with support, movement breaks, or modified expectations. Our groups are small and highly supported, but learning happens in community.
-
We meet every child where they are, and we also hold a vision for where they're going. Families and students who are working toward independence — academically, socially, and in daily life — are a strong fit.
-
We work with a wide range of behavioral profiles and support needs. We are not currently equipped to safely support students with frequent severe aggression, elopement, or serious self-injurious behavior. If your child is working through these challenges, we'll help connect you with a program better suited to meet them at this stage.
-
Adapt Prep requires genuine family partnership. That means attending regular meetings, following through on behavior plans at home, and participating actively in both school and therapy. Your involvement isn't optional — it's part of what makes this work.
Not sure if your child is the right fit? That's exactly what our intro call is for. We'll be honest with you — and we'll help point you in the right direction either way.

Fill out our short inquiry form to tell us a little about your child and family. This is the first step — no commitment, no pressure.
02 — Intro Call
We'll schedule a 20-minute call to get to know each other. You can ask every question you've been saving up. We'll share more about our program, our approach, and what a day at Adapt Prep actually looks like.
