The Chisago Lakes Education Center (CLEC) is home to two Federal Setting IV Programs serving the districts of Chisago Lakes, North Branch, and Rush City, as well as provides the educational component for the Fairview Treatment School. The SOAR program, which stands for "Skill-building Opportunities for Academic Resiliency," is designed to support students grades K-12 who demonstrate significant co
mmunication needs as well as challenging behavior that require a separate placement. The focus of the program is to build students’ skills in the areas of functional communication, self-regulation, and independence. Pathway to Change is designed for students grades K-12 who demonstrate significant needs in the area of social and behavioral skills that require a separate placement. Pathway to Change is based on the Boys Town Education Model, a behaviorally-based program that focuses on developing skills and teaching replacement behaviors to help our students be successful across environments.
