School Notes Overview: |
St. Joseph's School for the Blind, the only school for the blind in New Jersey, serves students from birth through 21 years of age who are blind or partially sighted and may have other disabiltiies. Saint Joseph’s School for the Blind, founded and sponsored by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace, serves its mission by a Judeo-Christian attitude toward human life in an environment of caring, peace, and acceptance that emphasizes respect for each individual’s rights and dignity. Of special concern is the development of the potential of each student through highly specialized learning in a least restrictive environment. To accomplish these aims, the administration and staff provide for the development of meaningful skills through education, therapeutic intervention, family involvement, and independent living. All efforts to enliven the mission of St. Joseph’s School for the Blind are directed toward the educational, psychological, social, and physical well-being of students, and young adults who are blind, visually impaired, and blind visually impaired multi-disabled. Collaborative efforts, therefore, of students, family, staff, volunteers and supporters are equally important in providing quality services and programs. ...read more
