The ESN program at Montgomery Jr. High is a small, structured classroom community for students who need individualized support to thrive. We use research-based practices to build academic skills, real-world independence, and self-regulation — while making sure every student feels like they genuinely belong here. Small group. Big goals. Whole kid.
Not bragging, I promise...
This video captures the teaching philosophy and belief in students that we bring to every single part of our ESN program at Montgomery Jr. High. Watch it, and you will understand exactly why we do what we do.

Families do not need to purchase individual school supplies for their student. Our classroom is fully stocked with the specialized materials we use daily — including dry-erase markers, sheet protectors, morning work binders, and plastic home-to-school folders.
Instead, we invite families to consider supporting our classroom family by purchasing one or more items from our Amazon Wish List.

This video was filmed at Herbert Slater Middle School, where our program was based before merging with Montgomery Jr. High. It is a few years old — yes, we know — but every single component you see still reflects exactly how our classroom runs today. Consider it a sneak peek with a change of scenery.
