The CARE Course of Study is intended to meet the needs of a small group of students with disabilities who need a greatly modified curriculum that focuses on life-skills and post-school employment and independent living. The vast majority of students with disabilities will complete one of the other three modules of study with the use of accommodations, modifications, supplemental aids and services as needed. The CARE Course of Study is a modified standard course of study consisting of fifteen new courses in English, mathematics, science, occupational preparation and social studies. CARE Course of Study is designed to be self-paced for the student yet competencies are societal benchmarked for authentic independence at work or home.

Students are also required to complete career/technical education credits, healthful living and electives, as needed to complete local graduation requirements.

Each student must complete a CARE portfolio documenting completion of course of study requirements. The CARE portfolio is in place of the exit exam requirement.

The IEP Team, which includes parents and the student, makes recommendations as to the appropriateness of the CARE Course of Study for a particular student based on his/her post-school transition needs and goals. Final selection of the CARE Course of Study is by student and parent choice.

Students are not required to pass an exit exam or the computer skills test. However, each student must have specified in their IEP the computer or technology skills to be mastered.

Student can be enrolled at chronological aged 10 and should graduate at chronological aged 18. However, assessment and evaluation of the student will provide a better insertion in to CARE Course of Study.

Students facing difficulties in Kits4Kids Junior program (7 – 12) / Senior program (12 – 18) are recommended for transition into Kits4Kids CARE program (10 – 18). This is in-line with the overall developmental progression developed based on both international curriculum and local requirements.
