The Kayne Eras Center (KEC) operates a state certified, non-public school for youth ages 5 to 22 who are having difficulty functioning in the public school system due to developmental delays, learning disabilities, emotional or behavior challenges, and/or health impairments.

The school serves more than 200 students in elementary, middle and high school. Classrooms offer a low student-to-instructor ratio of 5:1.

The goal of our school is to give students the tools they need to successfully make the transition into the mainstream: work, school or independent living. The school helps children and young adults grow intellectually, socially and emotionally, while letting them discover their unique potential. To achieve these goals, we employ a host of on-site professionals and therapeutic regimens to serve each child with private or non-public funding.

At KEC, our credentialed teachers and diagnostic/therapeutic staff:

• Assess each student's level of learning
• Determine the most effective teaching/learning approach
• Design a program that starts where the student feels successful and builds from that critical point
• Continue to evaluate through instruction
• Facilitate communication between the student, the family, the school and other involved professionals

In addition, KEC offers:

• Therapeutic arts and enrichment activities that help our youngsters develop self-esteem, physical coordination, social skills, self-expression, a sense of exploration and a sense of teamwork.
• Individualized educational therapy and support - an intervention to develop alternative strategies for addressing learning problems for those who are unable to learn by traditional methods.
• Weekly group and individual counseling.
• Adaptive courses that make physical education accessible to students with a variety of physical limitations. Adaptive PE provides an outlet for excess physical and emotional energy, helping students demonstrate more self-discipline in the classroom.

Students who are succeeding may begin dual enrollment through part-time attendance at a public school. If they can maintain at least a B average and their behavior is consistent and positive for at least two semesters, they gradually transition back to full-time attendance at the public school.

Kayne Eras Center is located at 5350 Machado Road, Culver City, CA  90230
