Rum River South

Rum River Special Education Cooperative serves students aged 3 to 21, providing specialized support for those with autism spectrum disorders, language-based learning disabilities, and other developmental delays. The cooperative offers a continuous educational pathway ranging from preschool (ages 2-5) through young adult programs (ages 18-22), ensuring a stable and inclusive environment for students as they transition through different developmental stages.

The cooperative utilizes a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) to deliver data-driven, personalized instruction tailored to each student's unique IEP requirements. To address diverse needs, Rum River integrates essential therapeutic services directly into the educational framework, including speech-language therapy, occupational therapy, and dedicated behavioral support. This holistic approach is designed to foster academic, social, and emotional growth.

With a commitment to low student-teacher ratios, the program emphasizes individualized attention and strong educator-student relationships. Rum River prioritizes active partnerships with families, ensuring parents are integral members of the educational team. The cooperative provides specialized facilities and a nurturing community focused on empowering every student to reach their fullest potential.
