Why ReThink

A Different Kind of School for Students With Autism

ReThink was founded with a simple mission: to create a small, academically strong school where students with autism are known, supported, challenged, and given opportunities to thrive.

​

We strongly believe:

​

  • Students should be known as individuals.
    Every student brings unique strengths, interests, abilities, and goals.

  • Strong support and strong academics belong together.
    Students should not have to choose between being appropriately challenged and receiving the support they need to succeed.

  • Families are essential partners.
    We work closely with parents to support each student’s academic growth, confidence, and independence.

​

Our small classes allow teachers to truly know their students. Through strong academics, individualized support, executive-functioning development, college and career exploration, and real-world learning opportunities, we help students prepare for what comes next.

Students Deserve a School Where They Can Belong and Grow

Students with autism can thrive academically, socially, and personally when they learn in an environment that understands their needs while recognizing their strengths. ReThink combines a smaller school community with meaningful academic expectations, strong relationships, and opportunities for students to become increasingly confident and independent.
