About John Morse Therapeutic Center - Sacramento

John Morse Therapeutic Center is a small special education school in the Sacramento City Unified School District. It meets the unique needs of students in first through eighth grades who exhibit mental health, emotional, and trauma challenges. Students show problems with self-regulation and internalizing issues that result in the need for a more restrictive school environment than what is available on a regular comprehensive school campus.

The school uses a therapy-first approach in a safe and structured academic setting. It provides coping and regulating skills along with academic growth. The vision is to make the center a safe and caring community where students feel secure so they can reach their full potential, positioning them to be productive members of society and return to a comprehensive school site.

Students are placed by school districts via IEP. The school is tuition-free for eligible students.
