Teaching With Excellence
The Mountain Top Baptist Academy District is committed to providing the best possible educational experience for ALL students, addressing academic and social/emotional needs and supporting a healthy environment where all students thrive.

Speech and Language Impairment
Deaf-Blind
Visual Impairment
Traumatic Brain Injury
Hearing Impairment
Deafness
Other Health Impairment
Autism
Multiple Disabilities
Orthopedic Impairment

Services & Programs
Students may receive any combination of services, based on their Individualized Education Program (IEP), including:
Speech and Language Support - Speech and language specialists provide support for articulation, voice, fluency, and language disorders.
Specialized Academic Instruction - Special Education teachers provide educational planning, special instruction, tutorial assistance, or other services to exceptional individuals in special programs or regular classrooms.
Special Day Classes - Students are grouped with others who share similar instructional needs. Each class has a credentialed special education teacher and an instructional aide.
Adaptive physical education, nursing services, counseling support, behavior support, occupational therapy, and other services are available when a student's IEP determines this need.
Transition to Independent Living
Several of our programs assist with special education needs to transition to the workplace, independent living, and post secondary education or training.
WorkAbility 1 - Workability 1 programs provide comprehensive pre-employment training, employment placement, and follow-up consultations for individuals making the transition to independent living.
Post-Secondary Programs - This Community Immersion Program (CIP) provides services for students with disabilities who have completed high schools through enrollment and participation in an active college atmosphere; and prepares them for independent living, including work, leisure, and academics.
