Welcome to the life program!

  • Our schools are designed to serve students' unique needs with a focus on post-school success. Through individualized planning, our teams provide experiences focused on preparing students for their future career, educational, and life-ready needs.

    The District 214 life program at Forest View proudly serves students pursuing transition services beyond their high school graduation requirements. In recognition of the variety of dreams our students have for their future, our goal is to propel students towards their future career, educational, and life-ready plans. Learning, Independence, Fulfillment, and Enrichment captures the self-determination approach to providing authentic experiences for our students. Programming includes daily living, communication, personal management, and work based learning. As students discover their aspirations, our passionate teams empower student success.
