School Overview

Bellaire Education Center, located in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, operates as part of the Northeast Metro 916 Intermediate School District. This specialized educational facility is designed to provide robust academic and therapeutic support for students with unique learning needs, including those with significant emotional, behavioral, or developmental disabilities. By functioning as an intermediate district school, it serves students from various surrounding member districts who require specialized programming that may not be available in a traditional comprehensive high school setting.

The center focuses on fostering a structured, inclusive, and student-centered environment that prioritizes both academic progress and social-emotional growth. Through a multidisciplinary team approach—which often includes special education teachers, social workers, and behavioral specialists—Bellaire works to equip students with the essential life skills and self-regulation tools necessary for future independence. The school’s commitment to personalized education ensures that students receive tailored interventions to help them successfully navigate their educational journeys and prepare for post-secondary opportunities.
