School Overview
The St. Johns County Transition Program, located in St. Augustine, Florida, serves as a specialized educational bridge for young adults who have completed their high school graduation requirements but continue to require support to achieve independence. The program is designed to assist students with disabilities in the critical shift from a structured classroom environment to the demands of adult life, focusing heavily on life skills, vocational training, and community integration.

At its core, the program emphasizes functional learning, including personal management, social competence, and work-readiness skills tailored to each student’s unique Individual Education Program (IEP). By providing a simulated or real-world environment for students to practice problem-solving and self-advocacy, the St. Johns County Transition Program helps learners gain the confidence and practical experience necessary to navigate post-secondary education, competitive or supported employment, and independent living.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity.

It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
