The Junior Course of Study is intended to meet the needs of a small group of students with disabilities who need a adapted curriculum that focuses on both academic and life-skills for 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 Junior Course of Study is an adapted standard course of study consisting of 6 courses in English, mathematics, science, social studies, moral studies, art including physical education. Junior Course of Study is designed to be self-paced for the student yet competencies are societal benchmarked for authentic independence at school, work or home.

Students are also required to complete technical education credits, healthful living and electives, as needed to complete local graduation requirements. Portfolios can be used for students with moderate disabilities that fulfill the academic requirements of the courses.

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

Students may be required to pass an exit exam depending on the transition needs. However, each student must have specified in their IEP the computer or technology skills to be mastered required by the next stage of progression for transition.

Student can be enrolled at chronological aged 7 and should graduate at chronological aged 12. However, assessment and evaluation of the student will provide a better insertion in to Junior Course of Study. There is no limitation to the chronological age for graduation however it must be collectively agreed for authentic independence for the student.

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.
