Our staff members have experience working with a wide range of abilities.  We focus on the individual needs of each student. This may include life skills, academic skills, vocational skills or a combination of all three.

​

Our Approach

You will find at our school that we provide a multi-sensory individualized approach designed to promote academic, social, sensory and physical growth. Our goal is to maximize the quality of life for each student we serve. We deliver special education with compassionate care. 

​

Our spacious classrooms are equipped to provide the support necessary to enhance the education of students with significant needs. Small Teacher to Student Ratios allows us to focus on the individual needs of students. We are designed with the following classroom configurations:

​

8 Classes @ 6:1:3 (6 students/1 teacher/3 classroom assistants)

1 Class @ 12:1:4 (12 students/1 teacher/4 classroom assistants)

​
