Welcome to Collier High School
Welcome to Collier High School, a state-approved, private, non-profit special education school. We specialize in supporting students dealing with school refusal, oppositional/defiant behavior, low motivation, demand avoidance, and a variety of developmental disorders.
Our small class sizes and departmentalized academic program equip students for entry into colleges, vocational schools, or full-time employment. We champion practical learning, offering work-based learning, cooperative experiences, and work-study programs.
Central to our holistic approach is our robust counseling component, combining individual and group therapy for social and emotional growth. We also offer a range of clubs, sports, and activities for a balanced academic experience. Join us at Collier High School, where unique challenges are transformed into extraordinary achievements.
