Support for student with disabilities
BELIEVE Middle College works with the BELIEVE Schools Special Education Department to provide eligible students with services, accommodations, and supports outlined in their Individualized Education Programs or Section 504 Plans.
Families should share any existing educational plans, evaluations, or records during enrollment so the school can prepare appropriate supports.
A Personalized Approach
Every student enters BELIEVE Middle College with a different story, set of strengths, and set of goals. Our staff works closely with students to develop a plan that supports graduation, personal growth, and a successful transition into college, career training, employment, or military service.

Current students and families may request assistance by contacting their advisor, a member of the student support team, or the BELIEVE Middle College main office.
