Upper School
Independence & Transition
High School is a time of independence and transition and Kohler Academy’s Upper School program provides students with the ability to exercise their independence both in school, in the community and in the workplace while our staff supports students and families in developing plans for life after high school.
During weekly Community Based Instruction (CBI) trips, students navigate stores, make purchases and communicate with store personnel.
Kohler Academy’s Job Sampling Program gives students the opportunity to practice job skills in a real-life workplace settings. Through the cooperation and support of surrounding businesses and merchants and under the direct supervision of Kohler Academy staff, our students work in a variety of businesses and restaurants, interacting with customers, carrying out their assigned job tasks and learning about the world around them.
