Frequently Asked Questions

How can my child attend your school?

Children are placed at Thompson Instructional Center (Joliet) through the home or attending school with the child’s IEP team. The school determines that they are unable to support the student at their campus and a recommendation is made for the student to receive their services in a Level D placement. The parent, student and administrator will review the IEP and additional information and determine if our school is the best option for supporting the students needs.

Does your school suspend or expel students?

As a special education private day program, we KNOW that all students need to be in school everyday. We do not suspend or expel our students for any reason and we Never Give Up on our students.

Do you provide transportation?

We offer transportation services through the Home School District and our own private transportation services. Please contact the school administrator for more information.

Does my child have to have an IEP to attend your school?

Yes, an Individualized Education Plan is developed by a team that includes the child, their family, teachers, counselors, and other educational professionals.

Do you provide counseling services and other related services?

Every school in our organization provides counseling services to students that require counseling services. In addition we offer Speech and Occupational therapy as identified by the child’s IEP.
