Dan Peterson School in American Fork, UT offers therapeutic, structured programs from preschool through adult transition
Dan Peterson School is a dedicated special education school within the Alpine School District, serving students from preschool through adult transition classes. The school is specifically designed for students who require highly structured, self-contained, or therapeutic environments, including those who need specialized equipment and intensive individualized care to thrive.
The curriculum focuses on functional, individualized instruction aimed at fostering growth in communication, independence, and confidence. Instruction is built around the '6 C's'-critical thinking, collaboration, communication, creativity, citizenship, and character-with a strategic emphasis on life skill development and strong family partnerships to support long-term student success.
A comprehensive multidisciplinary team is available on-site to provide essential therapies and supports, including speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, an adapted physical education teacher, a school psychologist, and a teacher of the visually impaired. The school also features a dedicated nursing team led by a head nurse to manage complex medical needs. Please note that due to district division, students within the future Timpanogos School District boundaries will transition to new facilities starting in fall 2026.
