Specialized Education For Students with Profound Autism
At Creekside, we create tailored learning experiences and environments where students with profound autism are truly seen and understood.
The Creekside Difference
"Located on a 6-acre campus in South Blossom Hill, San Jose, Creekside provides ample space for students to learn and grow."
Our Pillars
The Creekside School serves a unique student population and their families. We take a special, holistic approach to educating students guided by 7 pillars, which create the foundation of our approach.
Relationships
We build sincere and meaningful relationships with all of our students.
Fun
We incorporate interests and highly engaging activities in everything we do to ensure that students want to be at school and to participate.
Regulation
All students learn important emotional, sensory, and behavioral regulation strategies.
Data Driven
We decide Creekside programming, goals, and treatment options by consulting high-quality data.
Best In Class Education
We only follow evidence-based practices backed by extensive research that have been shown to benefit people with autism.
Person Centered
Our approach is person-first, trauma-sensitive, and humanistic. We adapt programming for students based on their personal preferences, history, and assent.
Family Partnership
Families are our partners in holistically educating and caring for our students. We work together with parents to meet all students' needs.
