Y.A.L.E. School Cherry Hill Standard 9 Program

The Standard 9 program at Y.A.L.E. School in Cherry Hill, New Jersey is for young adults ages 18 through 21 who need an extra period of special education focused on real-life transition goals. It fits students who have already earned the high school credits their state requires but still need services to make meaningful progress on employment, independent living, or college readiness in their IEP.

Students defer accepting a diploma while they work with special education teachers and transition specialists. Depending on their plan, they may take non-matriculated college classes through the program's partnership with Camden County College, build job skills through community internships, and practice daily living skills at the Y.A.L.E. Life Skills House. Weekly seminars led by a counselor support social communication in settings that matter for adulthood.

Students may use tools such as a driving simulator when exploring transportation and mobility. For current tiers, eligibility, and enrollment paperwork, contact Y.A.L.E. School's Standard 9 Cherry Hill team directly.
