AchieveKids is a non-profit that operates two highly specialized schools (in Palo Alto and San Jose) to meet the needs of the most complex learners in special education.

The primary mission of AchieveKids is to create a greater opportunity in the lives of students in special education through exceptional schools and collaborative educational services that enable students with special needs to thrive.


AchieveKids Special Education Programs

AchieveKids is a Special Education school for students aged 5-22 of various needs that uses a multi-disciplinary approach that blends best practices from Special Education, Mental Health, Behavior Analysis, Speech and Language, and Vocational Education to develop highly individualized curricula to incorporate into each student’s daily lesson plan. Our program is data-driven and tailored to each student and our approaches are focused on positive practices, communication, community integration, and interaction. This multi-faceted approach aims to teach our students the skills necessary to return to their public school or a less restrictive environment. Classrooms are grouped according to age, social, and educational needs.
