Nexus is a Special Education Program housed in three CBE Outreach Settings. These are Discovering Choices (CACY), Discovering Choices II (Marlborough Outreach) and Discovering Choices Start(Bowness) Outreach

The mandate of the Nexus program is to provide formal and/or informal, observational assessment, life skills curriculum (non-graded curriculum), academic courses, individual and/or family counseling, community and family support services for high school students with Severe behavioral, emotional and/or social needs at risk of dropping out (or who have dropped out) of school and are in need of a Special Education Setting.

Nexus strives to empower the student and family for the return of the student to a community setting with the skills necessary for success. It builds working relationships among all stakeholders based on the educational needs of students.

It increases opportunities to:  a) enhance the student’s sense of self-worth, b) create an environment of choice which encourages self-empowerment on the part of students and their families, c) allow for success in developing strategies and skill sets which will allow students to be successful.
