About High Point Schools
CPC's High Point Schools are Department of Education approved private, non-profit schools serving students in kindergarten through 12th grade, ages 5 to 21, who learn best outside of the traditional school setting. Our students often experience developmental and learning disabilities as well as other psychiatric disorders.
Why are High Point Schools different? The staff-to-student ratio is one teaching staff to three students. Class sizes are limited to 12. Our 1:3 ratio means that each child's individual educational plan is thoughtfully carried out. High Point Schools combine a comprehensive academic curriculum with evidence based positive behavior support and a wide array of therapeutic services to promote a positive and effective learning environment. Our team creates a safe environment for students and includes psychiatrists, nurses, teachers and teaching assistants, licensed clinical social workers, and crisis intervention specialists.
