The Windsor Exceptional Students in Transition (WEST) Program offers our students community-based transition services for students between the ages of 18 - 21 who continue to have transition needs as they relate to their post-secondary goals.

Our program works to build the skills essential to independence: community living, work skills, and social / relationship skills.

Students in the WEST Program have completed the necessary requirements for obtaining their high school diploma and are ready to leave a traditional high school setting. The program is part-time and focuses on post-secondary goals, incorporating core academic skills into functional, real-life, hands-on experiences.  We work to provide instruction and experiences directly related to the functional life skills necessary for independence and competitive work in our community.
