Thresholds High School

Thresholds High School is an Illinois State Board of Education certified Therapeutic Day School for students with serious mental illnesses. The school offers a unique blend of flexibility and support to help students earn their high school diploma while preparing for life beyond graduation.


Students are referred through school districts across Chicago and suburban Illinois. We partner closely with each student’s home district to support Individualized Education Plan (IEP) goals, credit attainment, and successful post-secondary transitions. In addition to academic instruction, students receive coordinated mental health supports and access to Thresholds’ vocational services, including supported employment and supported education.

Instruction includes classroom teaching, individualized academic support, and community-based learning. We also use the PEAK Assessment to identify each student’s educational strengths and needs, allowing staff to tailor instruction and supports more precisely. A strong transition focus helps students build skills for employment, education, and independent living.

 

 

Eligibility and Referrals

Placement is determined through a student’s home school district as part of the IEP process.
