School Overview

The **Passages Transition Program**, located in Mahtomedi, Minnesota, is a specialized educational initiative designed for students with disabilities who have completed their high school graduation requirements but require additional support to transition into adulthood. Serving students typically aged 18 to 21, the program focuses on "post-secondary" outcomes, bridging the gap between a structured school environment and independent community living.

The curriculum is highly individualized and emphasizes the development of essential life skills, including vocational training, community integration, social communication, and independent living. By providing real-world experiences—such as job shadowing, transit training, and functional academics—the program aims to foster self-advocacy and autonomy. Ultimately, Passages serves as a supportive environment that equips students with the practical tools necessary to successfully navigate the workplace, post-secondary education, and their personal lives after leaving the public school system.
