West Education Center (WEC) serves students grades 9-12 and Transition age with unique needs in a variety of programs.

Special Education Programs

We are experts at serving students that demonstrate a variety of unique needs related to their disabilities and/or other related conditions.

High School: Our high school program serves students in grades 9-12 who may demonstrate needs related to social-emotional and/or behavioral regulation, specific learning disabilities, or other physical or mental health conditions. Our students work on developing a variety of skills through core-content instruction and specialized services.

West Alternative Learning Center
Transition

Our Transition programs support students who have attended a high school special education program and qualify for continued support in developing knowledge and skills in the areas of:

  • Education and Training
  • Employment
  • Independent Living.

Transition students needing more customized supports and opportunities can receive those at our WEC campus. Transition students who are more independent and have shown success in a less structured environment, similar to college, can be served at our Hennepin Technical College campus in Eden Prairie.
