MoveUp: Preparing Our Students For Life After The Classroom

Bancroft’s MoveUp Program was created to help students transition successfully into adulthood by offering earlier guidance and resources to navigate the unique challenges, opportunities and environments that come after graduation.

Hosted at The Bancroft School, this supported work program helps students transition from classroom learning to real-world experience including academic skills, life skills and employment skills. Based on our Adult Day Services model, it provides an immersive environment outside of school where students can gain confidence and experience in unfamiliar settings.

Move Up Program Three Tiers

The MoveUp program is one more way that Bancroft strives to support our individuals in any way we can to give them their best future possible.

Students can join The Bancroft School at between ages 18-21 if they fit the profile and expected assessments to qualify. 

Frequently Asked Questions

The MoveUp Program welcomes students ages 18–21 who have finished 12th grade and are ready to work more independently without 1:1 support.

To ensure a good fit, teachers and clinical team members complete Readiness Assessments that gauge each student’s skills, preparedness, and performance.

The curriculum was designed to expose and familiarize students to more indepedent life skills such as new environments, managing their own schedules, knowing when to ask for help, and more. They will also learn about job applications and how to complete them. 

Through familiarization and exposure to life and job skills, our goals are:

  • Decreasing support and prompts
  • Increased time on tasks
  • Increased behavior stability
  • Following a schedule independently
