The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual. -V.Lombardi

Philosophy

We believe the ability to perform well in school is critical to self-esteem, self-confidence, the acquisition of basic life skills, and the ability to live as independent and productive citizens. Our schools provide targeted academic and behavioral interventions for students of all abilities, for an education that is positive, challenging, and individualized. The primary outcome for each student is to have an optimal educational experience that promotes a less restrictive learning environment.

Cenpatico leads the coordination of services for all of the educational needs indicated in a student's Individual Education Plan (IEP). We maintain a staff and network of service providers representing all areas of support identified by multi-disciplinary teams. In addition, we provide on-going evaluation of students' progress at Cenpatico, which helps us determine if additional supports and/or services are required for each student's success. This process supports our pursuit of the ultimate goal - a student's successful transition and re-integration into a district-provided less restrictive learning environment.

As a wholly-owned subsidiary and service affiliate of Cenpatico, Cenpatico Schools offers an educational setting with an unparallelled clinical focus. Each of the campuses has ready access to a licensed therapist, whose primary function is to provide counseling and case management services that are highly integrated with, and supportive of, each student's individual educational program. Cenpatico also serves as a clinical training environment for student interns who are seeking their Master's degree in the fields of professional counseling, marriage and family counseling, and social work.
