Our Programs
Thrive offers a comprehensive range of academic, social, and therapeutic programs designed to support the whole learner. Across classrooms and grade levels, students receive instruction in academics, verbal behavior, social skills, self-management, and independence. Programs incorporate evidence-based curricula and structured interventions, including individualized academic instruction, social skills groups, electives, and therapeutic supports such as speech and occupational therapy. All programs apply CABAS® principles—ongoing assessment, data collection, and targeted instruction—to ensure each student receives meaningful, measurable support aligned with their individual needs.
