School Overview

The White Bear Transition Plus program is a specialized educational initiative offered by White Bear Lake Area Schools (ISD 624) designed to support young adults, typically ages 18 to 21, who have completed their high school credit requirements but continue to require special education services. The program focuses on bridging the gap between the classroom and independent adulthood by emphasizing the development of functional life skills, vocational training, and community integration.

Located in Hugo, Minnesota, the program provides a tailored curriculum that helps students navigate the transition to post-secondary life. Key areas of instruction include independent living skills, self-advocacy, career exploration, and social communication. By partnering with local businesses and community resources, Transition Plus aims to foster student autonomy and prepare participants for successful employment and active participation in their communities after aging out of the public school system.
