Chapel Haven’s REACH program centers on a rich offering of functional academics with the main goal of preparing our students to live independently in the community. Our Functional Academic classes form the core of the REACH curriculum and are divided into 13 curriculum areas. Residents must meet a certain number of distribution requirements in order to graduate from the residential program. Community members, as in any adult education program, may enroll in any of the classes that interest them except those that are designate for residents only. As a state approved private special education facility, we employ a teaching staff comprised of both certified and non-certified professionals who attend not only to their classes’ subject matter, but also to the personal growth and enrichment of their students as individuals. Great care is taken in designing the continually expanding course selection to meet the needs and interests of our students. In addition to directly preparing the students for independent living, the classes in our core curriculum, as well as our enrichment classes, incorporate thirteen blended subject areas (listed below). The driving purpose and foundation of our education program is the integration of our students into the community. We recognize that this can be accomplished only if we teach explicitly and incidentally the social skills that make up the “hidden curriculum” that is essential to success in any community setting. To teach this hidden curriculum, we have designed each of our functional classes so that students learn concrete life skills such as clothing management and grocery shopping through a social communicative competence lens. Our curriculum takes the same approach to teaching problem solving skills, which are a skill set that is essential and transferable across any life skill or community interaction. This comprehensive program is just one layer in the foundation upon which our residents build lives of successful independence.

Blended Subject Areas – Legend LA – Language Arts SS – Social Studies M – Math S – Science A – Art

Book Club (LA) Nancy Murray/Danielle Drazen Do you love a great story? Enjoy stimulating conversations? In this class, students will have the opportunity to meet weekly to read and discuss exciting literature. The chosen book for this section is entitled Treasure Hunters – Book 1. The Kidd siblings have grown up diving down to shipwrecks and traveling the world, helping their famous parents recover everything from swords to gold doubloons from the bottom of the ocean. But after their parents disappear on the job, the kids are suddenly thrust into the biggest treasure hunt of their lives. They'll have to work together to defeat dangerous pirates and dodge the hot pursuit of an evil treasure hunting rival, all while following cryptic clues to unravel the mystery of what really happened to their parents-and find out if they're still alive. Session A – Tue. 2:00-3:00 (Nancy) The chosen book for this session is entitled Un Lun Dun. What is Un Lun Dun? It is London through the looking glass, an urban Wonderland of strange delights where all the lost and broken things of London end up . . . and some of its lost and broken people, too–including Brokkenbroll, boss of the broken umbrellas; Obaday Fing, a tailor whose head is an enormous pin-cushion, and an empty milk carton called Curdle. Un Lun Dun is a place where words are alive, a jungle lurks behind the door of an ordinary house, carnivorous giraffes stalk the streets, and a dark cloud dreams of burning the world. It is a city awaiting its hero, whose coming was prophesied long ago, set down for all time in the pages of a talking book. When twelve-year-old Zanna and her friend Deeba find a secret entrance leading out of London and into this strange city, it seems that the ancient prophecy is coming true at last.
