Providing a modified, functional curriculum and vocational training at our Lake Education and Employment Program (LEEP) is essential to increase post-graduation options and vocational possibilities. LEEP is available to Lake County students ages 16 – 22 years at Broadmoor School who are referred by their home school district.

LEEP is focused on empowering young adults ages 16 years and older to achieve academic, social, and pre-vocational success based on their individual preferences, interests, needs, and strengths. LEEP aims to provide students with a continuation of academic requirements, functional life-skill development, career exploration and training. There is also an emphasis on strengthening a student’s self-advocacy skills and increasing their level of independence, both within their school and greater communities. Given these experiences, along with various other enrichment opportunities, students are able to be active participants in the planning of their lives following graduation.

The LEEP unit is divided into three classes. Each class has up to eight students, as well as an instructor and an assistant.

  • All LEEP classes have a combination of vocational training and academic curriculum development, as specified in their Individual Education Plan.
  • There is a focus on the continuation of life skills development, interpersonal relationships and exposure to appropriate adult service options.

All students will be provided transferable and authentic opportunities that align with their individual preferences, interests, needs, and strengths. LEEP respects and encourages each student’s growth and progress on their own highly individualized path though the transition continuum.
