THERAPEUTIC EDUCATIONAL SETTING (TEP)

Therapeutic Educational Setting (TEP) is a public high school that is part of the Southington School District school district, located in Southington, CT offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade.

The Therapeutic Educational Program (TEP) in Southington, Connecticut, is a specialized school environment designed to support students who require intensive emotional, behavioral, and academic intervention. Operated by the Southington Public Schools district, the program serves students whose needs exceed what can be provided in a traditional classroom setting. The core focus of the school is to integrate rigorous academic instruction with comprehensive therapeutic support, ensuring that students remain on track to meet state educational standards while simultaneously developing the coping mechanisms and social-emotional skills necessary to thrive.

The program operates under a multidisciplinary approach, utilizing a team of educators, counselors, and support staff who work collaboratively to create individualized education plans (IEPs) tailored to each student’s unique challenges. By maintaining a smaller, highly structured, and supportive atmosphere, the TEP seeks to minimize stressors and foster an environment where students feel safe to address behavioral obstacles. The ultimate goal of the program is to provide students with the stability and tools they need to achieve personal growth and, whenever possible, successfully transition back to a less restrictive educational setting.
