The program is a separate public day school which provides special education services for students who range in age from 11-21 years old, that have a wide range of cognitive disabilities.

Rock Terrace School promotes the advancement of each student's highest potential to access and interact with the surrounding community, access post-secondary academic options and obtain and retain employment. Our educational program provides students with a modified set of courses from the MCPS program of students based on the Common Core standards. Students graduate at 21 years of age with a Maryland Certificate of Program Completion.
Our program is comprised of 3 levels: middle school (ages 11-14), high school (ages 15-17) and upper school (ages 18-21). All students have an Individual Education Plan, which aligns classroom instruction to each student's academic, functional and social/behavioral goals. Classroom teachers differentiate instruction to address the individual needs of each student in all classes. The primary objectives of Rock Terrace are continuous student achievement and maximum independence after graduation.
