School Overview
The **STRIVE Transition Program**, located in Lapeer, Michigan, is a specialized educational initiative designed to support young adults, typically between the ages of 18 and 26, who have disabilities. Rather than focusing on traditional academic curriculum, the program centers on fostering independence and preparing students for life after high school. It serves as a vital bridge between the structured environment of the K-12 school system and the responsibilities of adult life, ensuring that students have the necessary skills to integrate successfully into their local communities.

The program's curriculum is highly practical, emphasizing life skills, vocational training, and social development. Students engage in hands-on learning experiences that include job readiness training, community-based instruction, and the development of personal self-advocacy skills. By providing a supportive environment in a community-based setting, STRIVE aims to help participants gain confidence, transition into meaningful employment or volunteer roles, and achieve a higher level of autonomy in their daily living activities.
