Tour Achievekids

Achievekids teaches youth with complex emotional and developmental disabilities the skills and knowledge necessary to achieve greater independence. Expert staff, supported by the community, provide programs for our students and families that are positive, individualized, and multi-disciplinary.

Our intensive, individualized programs have been developed specifically to address the issues that face our students. We have the ability to work with these young people on a focused one-to-one level with trained staff and specially designed facilities. Our goal is to help them become more self-reliant with their families, schools, and communities. We have two school campuses, one in San Jose and one in Palo Alto, where we serve children from Santa Clara, San Mateo, Alameda and Santa Cruz counties.

Known previously as Peninsula Children's Center in Palo Alto and Zonta in San Jose, Achievekids offers individualized programs and services for children with special needs.
