Transition Programing

As a school, we believe there are many paths to success and this belief is most evident in our support for our students preparing for life beyond Clearway. Students work closely with our Transition Counselor to determine their post-graduation vision and determine the steps needed to achieve this vision. Clearway works closely with Mass Bay Community College, Newton-Wellesley Hospital, a local nursing home, Cradles to Crayons, and several other local businesses. We offer a dual-enrollment program that allows students to take college-level courses while receiving individualized support while still in high school. Through our community based work-study and volunteer programs students have the opportunity to practice their skills in a real work environment. 

​

Seniors have the opportunity to tour local postgraduate programs. These programs will include community colleges, four year colleges, work training programs, technical programs and work.  Students will receive assistance with understanding how to evaluate college disability centers in relation to their own needs. Students will also receive individual guidance on the college application process including references, transcripts, and college essays.

Students participate in several vocational activities to help strengthen their job readiness skills. These activities will include obtaining and completing job applications, practicing appropriate interviewing skills, learning job terminology, understanding various work environment expectations, learning expectations needed for different positions, problem solving difficult or awkward job situations and understanding personal vocational strengths. Students will have the opportunity to tour local companies as well as to see other Clearway students working in their work study jobs.​
