Offered in collaboration with Camden County College, Transition to College is designed to help classified high school juniors and seniors prepare for the academic and interpersonal challenges of college life. The Brookfield classroom is located on the Blackwood campus of Camden County College and staffed full time by two certified special needs teachers and a social worker.

Students in this program complete their high school curriculum while simultaneously taking college courses. They receive an array of supportive services including: individual and group therapy, tutoring, and various life skills such as time management, budgeting, problem solving and culinary arts.

To be considered for this program, students must demonstrate the ability to work independently, attend school on a consistent basis, conduct themselves in a socially-appropriate manner, have an interest and determination to pursue college studies, and possess the capability to perform academically. The decision for placement of students in this program is based on the recommendation of the district child study team, Brookfield Academy staff, student desire, and the parent.

The Brookfield Schools Transition to College Program is a proud recipient of the “Innovation in Special Education Award,” presented by the New Jersey School Boards Association and ASAH.
