The Brookfield classroom is located on the Blackwood campus of Camden County College and
staffed full-time by a certified special needs teacher, a classroom assistant and a therapist.

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, and problem solving. The program also offers support and instruction along with a high-tech, wireless environment.

Acceptance into the program is highly competitive and is generally open to students completing
their sophomore and junior years at the Academy. Direct referrals are processed by Brookfield’s Admissions Office. Individuals 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.

A thorough application process that includes a review of academic and behavior records at the
Academy along with written essays and face-to-face interviews is conducted in the spring each
year. Students must also have parental permission. The final decision for placement into Transition to College is made by the district child study team, Brookfield Academy staff, student desire and the parent(s).

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.
