Post 21 Program Coming in September 2019The Post 21 program will be based in renovated space in the former NuView Academy Annex on the Piscataway Campus. The program is modeled on the Community-based Instruction program which offers: job shadowing; using public transportation; shopping; food preparation; household maintenance and social skill building.
The program will expand significantly when a new facility is built on land owned by the ESCNJ adjacent to the Center for Lifelong Learning. A Post 21 Committee of parents, community leaders, administrators, and teachers has been assembled to lead the effort, which includes raising $17 million to build the new facility.
