What does a student's experience encompass?
Our program provides a personalized and integrated experience, where our educators work directly with our speech, occupational, and behavioral therapists. Students participate in a full day and benefit from deeply individualized attention. We aim to have at least a 1:1 student/faculty ratio, and in many cases, more teachers and clinicians than students. The program includes all meals and extracurricular activities. We also offer financial aid and scholarship assistance up to 100% for qualifying families.
