Teachers and students in front of the U.S. Capital, April 2002.
Mainstream Program - Students attend John F. Kennedy High School through
the Fremont Unified School District for their academic classes.
CSB is a viable placement option for academically capable students.
Students at CSB are here because their educational needs were not
being met in their home school district.
Many students who enter the CSB Mainstream program are returned to
their home district for graduation from high school or for further instruction.
The Mainstream Program will attempt to provide the support needed
to demonstrate the level of services the student requires to be successful.
The California School for the Blind has made a commitment to keep
technologically current in the education of visually impaired students.
Success of the mainstream student is dependent in large part on the
student's social skills and is therefore an important part of the program.
The Mainstream Program is committed to providing as many opportunities
as possible for the visually impaired student to interact with sighted
peers.
The Mainstream Program is committed to teaching students to be self-reliant
and confident in their own abilities.
The teacher provides guidance and support in the classroom, however
the student will eventually become responsible for his or her own educational
program.
The Mainstream Program is committed to providing the
mainstream student with the skills necessary to be successful in high
school, in college, and in life.
