School Overview

Transition Plus is a specialized educational program operated by the Hopkins Public Schools district in Saint Louis Park, Minnesota. Designed for students between the ages of 18 and 21 who have completed their high school credits but require continued support to transition into adulthood, the program focuses on fostering independence. It serves as a vital bridge between the structured environment of a traditional high school and the autonomy required for post-secondary life, employment, and community integration.

The program’s curriculum is highly individualized, emphasizing functional life skills, vocational training, and community-based instruction. Students work closely with staff to develop personal goals centered around career readiness, social communication, and independent living—such as money management, transportation navigation, and self-advocacy. By providing a supportive environment that encourages real-world experiences, Transition Plus aims to empower students with disabilities to successfully navigate the complexities of adult life after they exit the public school system.
