The Green Tree School was founded on the belief that every child deserves a quality education, regardless of his or her special needs. Guided by this principle, we serve three distinct groups of students: school-age students with serious emotional disturbances, children and teens with Autism Spectrum Disorders and preschoolers with developmental delays. With campuses in the historic northwest section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Green Tree is a state licensed, Approved Private School (APS). Our staff to student ratio (1:2.5) allows us to provide therapeutic and educational services to students with extraordinary needs. In operation since 1957, we are the oldest school of this kind in Philadelphia.
