Being here has made me more comfortable out in the real world. Now I’m going to college. I don’t think I would have been even able to deal with the thought of college when I first got to Rock Point.

In my two years at Rock Point, I found a place where everything felt like I belonged. There is so much love in this community, and you can feel how much people want you to succeed. I have never felt more safe among my peers in a class.
It has been so special to come to a place where I have been accepted for who I am. I've always been me, that's not changing, but for the first time in my life, it's been celebrated.
We are incredibly thankful to have found Rock Point School for our son. Rock Point School gave Charlie the love, support and encouragement for him to be his authentic self, explore, learn, practice skills, and have fun.
Student Stories
“Success” has many definitions in our school community. Being successful means finding a passion and a purpose in life, becoming self-aware, and learning to be competent and confident in your skills. Sometimes being successful means trying something new, conquering a fear, or experiencing joy. Most importantly, we believe that success means moving forward along your own trajectory.
