Ages 14-18

Upper School

We provide highly specialized classroom instruction for students who are high school age, driven by the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks and students’ individualized needs. Students continue to work towards fulfilling graduation requirements, including state testing, such as MCAS. During their regular schedule, students have the opportunity to deepen relationships with their peers while enjoying a variety of elective specials, integrated therapies and social and emotional learning opportunities. Community instruction, targeted transition and vocational skills, and student choice are woven throughout Upper School programming.
