The Day School Program serves regular and special education students in grades 6–10 until they become 16 years old. Students carry daily progress reports throughout the day and earn points for displaying the expected behaviors. As they earn points over time, students advance through the system levels until they are eligible for mainstreaming back to their home schools. All students in the program regularly meet with a staff therapist to address behavioral issues in the academic setting.

Students who are 16 years old or older and require the services of an alternative placement participate in the Twilight Program, from 3:15- 6:15 PM, Mondays through Thursdays. Students must complete one successful semester in the Twilight Program to qualify for mainstreaming back to their home schools. Success includes 90% or better attendance, a C average in academic work and displaying appropriate behavior.

Our motto: You can’t control the wind, but you can adjust your sails. Our mission: Heather Ridge builds academic, emotional and social foundations for success in secondary and post-secondary settings.
