HIGH STEP TRANSITION

High Step Transition is a public high school that is part of the Hartford School District school district, located in Hartford, CT.

High Step Transition, located at 55 Forest Street in Hartford, Connecticut, is a specialized educational program designed to support students with disabilities as they navigate the critical shift from high school to adult life. Operated under the umbrella of the Hartford Public Schools, the program focuses on functional skill-building, providing students—typically aged 18 to 21—with a structured environment to gain independence. The curriculum is heavily centered on life skills, community integration, and vocational training, ensuring that students are prepared for the challenges and responsibilities of post-secondary living.

Beyond traditional academics, High Step Transition emphasizes personalized transition planning tailored to each student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP). By offering hands-on experiences, job coaching, and social skills development, the program aims to bridge the gap between the classroom and the workforce or community settings. The facility serves as a dedicated space where young adults can refine their ability to advocate for themselves, manage daily tasks, and cultivate the necessary tools for meaningful participation in society after their formal education concludes.
