Mat-Su Day School

Mat-Su Day School provides a specialized educational environment for students who require additional support for behavioral, social, and emotional challenges. Serving the Matanuska-Susitna Borough for nearly 40 years, the school focuses on helping students reach their maximum potential and prepares them for a successful transition back to their boundary schools. The program is designed to meet students where they are, both academically and emotionally.

The school utilizes a therapeutic approach that integrates evidence-based practices with compassionate care. Programs are specifically tailored to address individual needs through Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), featuring services such as behavioral intervention, emotional support, and social skills development. By combining academic remediation with developmental and therapeutic services, the school fosters a holistic learning experience that prioritizes student engagement and safety.

Mat-Su Day School emphasizes a low student-teacher ratio to ensure personalized attention and intensive support for every learner. As a public school program, it fosters strong partnerships with families and hosts community events to build a supportive network. The school also provides specialized transition planning for young adults (ages 18-22), ensuring students are well-equipped for life beyond the classroom.
