Elementary & Middle School
Elementary and middle school classes are for students 5 to 13 years of age. The students are guided by special education teachers and social workers as well as music, art and physical education teachers. Students have access to physical and occupational therapists and speech and language pathologists as needed for their educational program. Frequent evaluation of student progress, interaction with non-disabled peers, and consistent utilization of behavioral supports and social skills instruction provide each student with a comprehensive program.
Our success is do to many strengths, including:
- A superb student-to-teacher ratio
- Engaging, print rich classrooms
- Individualized instruction with a team approach to learning and development
- Extensive use of technology including SMART Boards, computers, AlphaSmarts, iPads, and voice output devices
