Welcome to THE
Cannon Valley Special Education Cooperative

The Cannon Valley Special Education Cooperative (CVSEC) was formed through a partnership with Faribault Public Schools, Medford Public Schools, Northfield Public Schools and Owatonna Public Schools to provide services to all off-site programs including The SUN Program, STEP 18-22 Program, and Alexander Learning Academy. These programs provide highly individualized learning experiences for students kindergarten through age 22 identified as needing more structure, support and modifications than can be accommodated in the traditional academic setting. We believe, wholeheartedly, that all students can be successful and productive learners when taught the tools to access their personal potential in our specialized programs.
