School Overview

Tassel Transition is an educational program located in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, designed to support young adults who have completed their high school graduation requirements but require additional training to achieve independence. Operating under the umbrella of the Eden Prairie School District, the program focuses on "transitioning" students—typically those receiving special education services—into the next phase of their lives, whether that involves higher education, vocational training, or competitive employment.

The curriculum is highly individualized and emphasizes the development of essential life skills, such as community navigation, financial literacy, personal advocacy, and workplace readiness. By utilizing a community-based approach, Tassel Transition allows students to practice these skills in real-world settings rather than just a traditional classroom environment. The program aims to bridge the gap between secondary education and adult life, ensuring that students have the confidence and practical tools necessary to integrate successfully into their communities and reach their post-secondary goals.
