The School programs provide exemplary educational services to students, regardless of where the student falls on the autism spectrum. With certified teachers, a low student-to-teacher ratio, and small state-of-the-art classroom settings, the Schools programs are tailored to meet the specific individual needs of each of their students. Connections playes a unique role among organizations that serve the ASD community by incorporating the whole family in the educational process. We provide a life-long, family-centered partnership both in and out of school. In addition to focusing on academic skills, community-based partnerships and activities promoting inclusion are part of our students day. Our innovative Health, Wellness and Aquatics Program addresses students unique fitness, nutrition and water safety needs. Weekly swim instruction is provided to each of our students helping to lower the incidences of drowning to children with autism. Our school nurse program, initially funded by the Quantum Foundation, continues to be an integral part of this program. continued on Schedule O

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
