Who We Are?
Founded by parents who faced challenges finding a suitable school.
Creekside is a community dedicated to individualized support and education for students with profound autism.
Lifelong learning begins with belonging, connection, and understanding.
Guided by this belief, each student's unique set of interests, strengths, and needs drives the development of our individualized, comprehensive programs.
Our emphasis on family and community stems from our recognition that autism affects more than just parents. It impacts the whole family and the people around them.
