ESY Program

Working with local school districts and parents to develop an IEP-driven program that addresses each student’s specific needs, our intentionally small class sizes and collaborative model provide us with an environment where teachers and therapists have the opportunity to work with and cheer on your child every day. 

Every Kohler student is educated and supported to reach their full potential through an individualized education program that aims to meet their unique and diverse needs through the collaboration of academic instruction and therapeutic services. 

The Kohler Difference

At Kohler Academy, our campus reflects the close-knit, collaborative community that we are.  You’ll find teachers, therapists, and our administration working together closely to support a collaborative model where each student’s unique needs are the focus.  

Our school building is a safe and secure environment where classrooms, therapy spaces, life skills areas and our sensory room provide ample opportunities for not only student learning, but for our students to interact with the world around them.
