Welcome to Pioneer Programs
Helping Students of All Abilities Succeed
Through Community-Based Instruction
Our Mission
At Pioneer Programs we believe individuals of all abilities deserve an equal chance to be successful.
Our students deserve respect, independence, and should always have a voice.
We develop individualized support and learning systems while adding community involvement for students to excel in multiple environments.
We do this by providing a partnership of learning, growth, and respect between staff and students while nurturing a relationship between our students and the community.

Our Programs
We have two campuses; Community School of San Diego and Community School of San Diego High School.
Community School of San Diego includes our Elementary/Middle School Program for students in grades K-8, and our Community School of San Diego High School includes our Transition Program for students ages 14-22.
Classes are organized by considering the age, social skills, communication skills, academic abilities, self-help, and daily living skills of each student. We focus on community-based education and (pre) vocational job training.
Community activities are selected to support the student’s school program and reinforce skills in real-life settings. Activities are focused on pre-vocational and on job readiness and many of our students have small jobs in our own Ocean Beach community!
