Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Mercy High Way expects each student to grow in academics as well as life skills. While we do not have national standards to comply with, we use Individual Education Plans (IEPs) that customize standards for each student to meet. The goal at Mercy High Way, is to establish a complete understanding of each student’s capability in order to assess placement and create achievable goals for growth and success.
