Welcome! We know that every therapeutic school is different. We strive to work diligently with our home school districts and with our students and their families to provide the best innovative therapeutic school experience possible . We do that by making sure that contact with parents is consistent, thoughtful, purposeful and sustained. We have our students for six hours a day and we are invested in knowing how things are going in the other eighteen hours of the day as well. With small class sizes, the latest technologies, and access to our therapists daily, we make sure that the access students have to their academic and social emotional needs is always met with kindness, compassion, and excellence.
