Wesley School

Wesley School is a centralized Special Education Facility operated by the Muskegon Area Intermediate School District.  Wesley School educates students eligible for special education services due to a Cognitive Impairment (CI), Severe Multiple Impairment (SXI), and Autism (ASD).  Students typically range in age from 3 - 26 years old. 

Wesley students come from the 12 local school districts of Muskegon County.  Our districts include: Montague, Whitehall, Holton, North Muskegon, Reeths-Puffer, Muskegon, Muskegon Heights, Mona Shores, Ravenna, Oakridge, Orchard View, and Fruitport.  

An Individualized Education Plan (IEP) team must recommend a student for placement at Wesley School.  The local school district initiates the referral process.  

 In addition to the Wesley School Campus, Wesley School also operates Adult Transition Programs throughout the community.  These programs are designed to aide young adults with Cognitive Impairments in preparation for post-school experiences.
