School Overview
The **Ed & Life Skills Transition** program, located at 1330 Shermer Rd in Northbrook, Illinois, serves as a specialized educational bridge for young adults who require continued support beyond traditional high school. Operating under the umbrella of the Northbrook School District (often associated with the Glenbrook High Schools’ special education services), the program is designed to help students with developmental or learning disabilities gain the independence necessary for post-secondary life.

The curriculum focuses heavily on functional life skills, community integration, and vocational readiness. Rather than focusing solely on academic subjects, students engage in practical training that includes money management, social-emotional development, household skills, and job coaching. By utilizing a community-based approach, the program helps students transition from the classroom environment into productive roles in the workforce or supported living arrangements, ensuring they have the tools to navigate adulthood with confidence and autonomy.
