DAEP

Disciplinary Alternative Education Program

The Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP) offers academic courses in the foundation and elective curriculum areas with students progressing at the same pace as their home campuses. Special needs students’ academic work is modified in accordance with their Individualized Education Plans (IEP). Students earn their grades from the DAEP while working with DAEP instructional methods and materials. Grading standards, averages, and grade reports are in accordance with New Braunfels ISD policies. 

The DAEP is staffed with State Certified teachers and faculty members. In addition, the DAEP has access to diagnosticians, counselors, nurses, and other district general and special education personnel. Students follow a seven period day and rotate through classrooms focusing on English, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Elective courses.
