Staffing for intensive elementary and middle school programming
Our team consists of one special educator for each group of eight to ten students, a compliment of paraprofessionals necessary to educate our students at a ratio of 2.5 students for each direct service staff member, additional paraprofessionals as needed to educate students who require a more intensive ratio, a fully licensed Speech/Language therapist, a Registered Occupational Therapist, and a karate instructor.
We are positive and energetic; we love our work and our students; and we function as a true team, with a common mission to have our students learn as rapidly and as enjoyably as possible. Our professionals are top notch and several of our Paraprofessional teachers have BA’s.
