At Potential Development High School, we provide a safe, structured and supportive learning environment where students with autism can work toward earning a high school diploma while developing the employment and life skills needed to become more independent young adults.
Our school uses the TEACCH approach, which incorporates structured teaching, visual supports, organizational strategies and predictable environments to help students learn and grow with confidence. Instruction follows Ohio’s Learning Standards and Extended Learning Standards in language arts, mathematics, science and social studies.
To prepare students for life beyond high school, we help them explore career interests and provide opportunities to visit local employers and community agencies. Students also develop practical skills that support future employment, community involvement and greater independence.
As a chartered nonpublic school, Potential Development High School guides students in meeting Ohio’s graduation requirements, including required course credits, applicable state assessments and Ohio’s graduation seals. Our administration and staff work closely with students and their parents or guardians to understand graduation pathways and plan for each student’s future.
