Abraxas
The overall mission for Abraxas High School Foundation is to enrich the lives of the Abraxas School community. The primary purpose of our foundation is to work in partnership with teachers, staff, students, and our community partners to identify and support needs and opportunities that will better the lives of each and every Abraxas student.
The Abraxas campus houses two unique educational programs;
Abraxas High School
Abraxas Continuation High School is a continuation high school that serves students who need an educational environment that is smaller, more intimate, and more flexible than what is typically found at comprehensive high schools.
Abraxas students typically select this school because they are at risk of not receiving a high school diploma, and they believe that Abraxas can help to make that goal a reality.
Those who enroll at Abraxas High School are usually 16 years old or older, and voluntarily choose to attend this school because they and their parents appreciate the unique opportunities that Abraxas makes possible.
Transition Program
Since 1986, the Transition Program in the Poway Unified School District has operated as a community-based program designed to enhance and promote greater independence of practical life skills for young adults with developmental disabilities.
The program is located on the Abraxas Continuation High School campus and serves as a link between the public school system and the world of post-school activities and services.
The Transition Program provides training for individuals between the ages of 18-22 across Education/Training, Community, Vocational, and Independent Living domains.
Students are encouraged to be as independent as possible in the community through the development of transition services and subsequent goals outlined in each individual's Individualized Education Program, including the Individualized Transition Program.
The Abraxas High School Foundation was founded and incorporated in 2017 as a 501 ( c) (3) non-profit organization.
