FAQs

Frequently asked Parent Questions:

1) Will my child lose school credits coming to Cathedral Home?

No, our school is fully accredited, this means that the credits that students earn here will transfer to any other school the student attends. We also accept credits from other schools. Our school works hard to gather all available school information for each student and compile all credits earned, even if they have been in multiple placements, to ensure they are given appropriate credit for work they completed.

2) Does your school graduate students and give diplomas?

Yes, students can earn a High School diploma from our school. Graduating seniors will either receive a diploma from Mae Olson Education Center or they may also receive a diploma from their home school district by transferring credits earned here back to their home school to meet their graduation requirements.

3) My child has an IEP, will she get the services she needs?

Yes, the School works closely with student’s home school districts to ensure that the IEP process is followed and students receive all services that are spelled out in their IEP. We have a Special Education Case Manager who ensures that all students with IEP’s continue to have their regularly scheduled meetings and are making progress toward meeting their goals throughout treatment. Special Education teachers, Speech Therapists, Reading Specialists, Counselors, and others are on staff to ensure all students receive their required services.

4) Are your teachers certified?

Yes, all school staff is properly credentialed for the positions they hold, according to Wyoming Department of Education and the Professional Teaching Standards Board.

5) What is the student to teacher ratio?

The staff to student ratio in all classes as well as all activities at Cathedral Home is 6 to 1.
