TRACE encourages students to be as independent as possible in the community. The level of support each student receives is based on individual needs. Following the special education protocol, each student receives an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) and a transition plan (TP) that provides step by step procedures to become as independent as possible.
Classes are offered through our school as well as community colleges and training programs. We provide support in job placement, job retention, community agency linkage and independent living skills as well as guiding our students to access the wealth of opportunities in our county, from going to baseball games, the beach and learning to feel comfortable enough to join in the recreational and leisure activities that San Diego has to offer.
TRACE students are legally adults but we encourage parent involvement in helping them complete their education.
Students who have faced many challenges in life and the mainstream educational system. Sometimes they have not had success in school, and they don't see a whole lot of connection between school and life. We're here to help them make that connection. Our school works. We started with 12 students and have grown to more than 506. We have room for more.
