Camelot Education is a private school operator who contracts with local school districts to provide therapeutic education opportunities for students who are mainstreamed in the public school but require additional help to achieve their fullest potential. Camelot Education works with students with specific learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, multiple disabilities, and emotional impairments.
Unlike most private schools, the students in the Camelot program are bussed in by the school districts contracting for the services. This eliminates traffic issues sometimes associated with parents dropping off and picking up students.
