Integrated Program
The Sachem Integrated Program fosters academic, social and emotional growth for those students within the program as well as the entire Sachem School community. We do so by providing equal opportunity for all students, including those classified with special needs in a regular education setting. All students are exposed to the same curriculum and afforded the opportunity to work together as cooperative members of the same group. Modification will be provided when necessary to insure success.
All students in the integrated program are recognized as individuals with strengths and weaknesses. They learn to support and appreciate each other. The program enhances the self-esteem of all students, the appreciation of each other's self-worth, and the life-long skill that people can accomplish more when working together as members of a group.
The Sachem Integrated Program sets high expectations for all students and maximizes learning within an age appropriate classroom. Our mission helps all students become more productive, independent, and cooperative citizens by structuring our classes and schools as a community where all children learn to their maximum potential.
At the elementary level, the program places 15:1 students into their appropriate grade level general education class with the necessary support services. A special education teacher and teacher assistant work with the regular education teacher throughout the day.
