Community School Mission

The Community School is a day school that provides educational services to students ages 3-21 with severe and multiple disabilities who may also have complex medical needs and require behavioral support. The Community School supports the diverse needs of each student using adapted curricula with an emphasis on functional academics. Additional areas of focus include communication, activities of daily living, social/emotional development, self-determination, adaptive behavior, vocation and leisure/recreation skills. Individualized accommodations and modifications are identified based on student assessment and data analysis and include an extensive use of assistive technology to improve access, engagement, and understanding. Content is individualized as appropriate and presented utilizing a variety of methodologies.
