The Progressions School has been providing quality educational services for over 10 years.
We operate under license by the Pennsylvania Department of Education as an independent Private Alternative School.
We assist eleven school districts located throughout Chester, Eastern Montgomery, and Berks counties.
We offer small class size and low teacher-student ratios to address individual student learning styles.
Although always flexible to meet individual needs, we follow research-based instructional practices and curriculum materials.
Progressions School is committed to helping exceptional students with emotional and behavioral challenges to identify and work toward future goals.
When appropriate, our older students have partnered with local employers to provide realistic job training experiences.
