Transitions
Preparing Students for Independent Lives Beyond High School
Located on 70 acres of peaceful Oklahoma landscape in Norman—one of the nation’s top college towns—Transitions by Terra Verde offers a unique blend of natural beauty, individualized instruction, and real-world learning. Our campus feels like a country retreat just minutes from city life, creating the ideal setting for students with developmental delays to grow academically, socially, and personally.
Our Mission
The mission of Transitions by Terra Verde is to provide quality academic and social programs for students aged 12-22 with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Through small group instruction and life skills training, students are supported in reaching their full academic, social, vocational, and physical potential. Our program fosters self-confidence, real-world readiness, and meaningful independence.
A Program Designed for Progress
Transitions by Terra Verde offers a supportive, alternative educational pathway through small group instruction and individualized planning. Students work toward an alternative diploma, with a curriculum built around academic, social, vocational, and life skills development.
The program is more than a classroom—it’s a roadmap to greater independence. Our team works closely with each student to identify their strengths, nurture their confidence, and build skills they can apply in everyday life. Whether learning to make decisions, navigating current events with peers, or engaging in hands-on job experiences, students are empowered to take ownership of their future.
