Children’s Health Council (CHC) operates two California Department of Education-certified Non-Public Schools:
Together, these programs serve as critical options for students with emotional, behavioral, and learning challenges whose needs cannot be met in a traditional classroom setting.
EBC serves students with significant emotional and behavioral challenges. With integrated therapeutic services, individualized academic instruction, and strong family collaboration, students build coping strategies, self-regulation skills, and confidence.
SHS supports students with ADHD, dyslexia, school-based anxiety, ASD and related learning differences. Now certified as an NPS, SHS offers a focused academic environment that fosters self-esteem, skill building, and readiness for reentry to district settings.
CHC’s NPS programs are uniquely positioned to offer continuity of care and academic support within one organization. For some students, EBC provides a highly structured, therapeutic start. As progress is made, SHS may serve as a step-down placement before returning to a district school. This seamless internal transition minimizes disruption while maintaining individualized attention and progress monitoring.
Placements in both schools occur via IEP team decisions. Our team partners with districts at every stage—from intake and goal-setting to progress updates and transition planning.
