Education

Initially all residents attend the private school on the White Field's campus.  The residents are assessed in the school in the areas of reading and math.  The school then develops an education plan for each resident to ensure their unique education needs are met, including classroom and curricular accommodations and modification.  While attending school on campus the residents work on social skills, behavior management skills as well as academic skills including remedial skills training when necessary.  The school follows the Oklahoma State Department of Education curriculum guidelines including the Priority Academic Skills for Students (P.A.S.S.).

One of the goals for each resident is to be able to attend public school. The residents are evaluated by Deer Creek for special education services, when that is determined to be appropriate, prior to their enrolling.  The identification and subsequent development of an Individualized Education Program allows the residents consistent support in the public school environment in academics and behavior support as well as provides necessary modifications and accommodations in the classroom.
