Welcome to The Foundation School

The mission of The Foundation School is to bring together the talent, skills, and motivation of education professionals committed to working together, defining the nature and needs of its students, and cooperatively devising techniques, strategies, and materials to optimally meet those needs. We do not work alone or in isolation, but as part of a team that collectively develops solutions. The success of our students is our top priority.

The Foundation School opened in 1966 to provide for the education of children with special needs. The core concept was to use a team approach to best focus on the individual requirements of each student. 

We emphasize the development of language skills and maintain an average teacher to pupil ratio of 1:2. Our goal is to help students develop the competencies they need to maximize their potential succeed in our program or return to their local school.

We accept referrals from boards of education, as well as other agencies, or from parents who might want to consider private placement.

At The Foundation School, we pride ourselves on our

• top-notch staff

• first-rate facilities

• individualized programming

• happy kids
