Our mission is to identify students with a disability requiring special education and to provide services that empower them to become active members of society based on their individual strengths and abilities. We are committed to providing a caring community of dedicated staff and involved parents that meets the diverse academic, emotional, and social needs of all of our students in a respectful and positive environment.
The Special Education program is based on IDEA of 1997 (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1997) and the IDEIA of 2004 (Individuals with Disabilities Improvement Act of 2004). Special Education is specially designed instruction delivered through an environment that is appropriate for the child's needs. It requires that students with disabilities be educated with students who do not have disabilities to the greatest extent possible unless the nature or severity of the disability is such that education in regular classes with the use of supplementary aids and services cannot be achieved. The Special Education Department Administration maintains the ultimate right to decide how and when inclusions may take place.
Future Intemabonal School (FIS) promotes the collaboration between parents' understanding of their child and professional educators who have experience and knowledge of best instructional practices. FIS is committed to providing special education students aged 2 to 16 with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) based upon their unique needs in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) through a continuum of services to promote access to and participation in general education.

FIS offers related services des- need to enable students to access their educational environment for the student who is identified as eligible to receive special education instruction.
