SCHOOL TO LIFE

School to Life is a Title I public high school that is part of the Central Valley School District school district, located in Spokane Valley, WA with about 35 students. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education.

Based on the information from the Central Valley School District (CVSD), **School to Life** is a specialized transition program designed to support students—typically young adults ages 18 to 21—who have completed their high school credit requirements but continue to require specialized instruction to reach their post-secondary goals. Located in Spokane Valley, the program focuses on bridging the gap between the classroom and independent adulthood.

The program's curriculum is centered on functional life skills, community integration, and vocational readiness. Rather than focusing solely on traditional academics, students at School to Life engage in real-world experiences such as community-based work training, independent living skills (like budgeting and personal care), social interaction, and navigating public transportation. The ultimate mission is to empower students with disabilities to achieve the highest level of independence possible, helping them transition successfully into their roles as contributing members of the community, whether in supported employment, continued education, or independent living.
