REACH Adaptive Learning Center is an alternative education placement within the Wentzville School District that provides education and therapy to students with a variety of special needs from k-12 grade. REACH is a relationship-based program that provides an individualized whole-child approach to education. Each student participates in active learning experiences in the areas of communication, awareness, regulation, social-emotional learning, along with academics that promote student learning and growth in all areas. Students enrolled in the program begin with a low student/staff ratio and transition toward larger group engagements as they are ready. Students enrolled at REACH Adaptive Learning Center may qualify for additional summer programming individually, as an extension of their programming.  

Our staff, which includes teachers certified in regular education and special education, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, instructional assistants and nurses provide a multidisciplinary approach to learning, implementing strategies to help students grow cognitively, socially, emotionally, communicatively, and physically. Our program emphasizes positive relationships and student success as the core purpose for motivated learning. Students learn to improve their executive functioning skills, self-regulation abilities, and to efficiently process information in both social-emotional and educational engagements.
