School Overview

The Young Adult Program located at 1819 South Wagner Road in Ann Arbor, Michigan, is a specialized educational facility operated by the Ann Arbor Public Schools district. It is designed specifically for students aged 18 to 26 who have completed their high school credits but continue to require individualized support to transition into adulthood. The program focuses on providing a structured environment where young adults with disabilities can further develop the functional and academic skills necessary to live and work as independently as possible.

The curriculum is heavily centered on life skills, vocational training, and community integration. Rather than a traditional classroom setting, the program emphasizes hands-on learning, often involving partnerships with local businesses or community organizations to provide students with real-world work experience. By focusing on personal advocacy, daily living skills, and social development, the Young Adult Program acts as a bridge between the structured environment of K-12 education and the complexities of post-secondary life, aiming to empower students to contribute meaningfully to their community.
