At the Monarch School of New England, our work begins with a simple, but powerful premise: that every student has potential, and given the right supports and services, every student can learn.
The Monarch School of New England is a nonprofit, specialized, day school that serves children and young adults with significant disabilities, ages 5 to 22.
Rooted in the belief that each child deserves an environment in which they can flourish, the Monarch School of New England designs programs based on the individual needs and capabilities of each student. Individualized programming maximizes student potential in the areas of academics, functional life skills, and vocational training.
The Monarch School of New England has two sites: Foss (elementary / middle school) and Williams (regional high school / vocational center).
All related services are integrated into the school day: Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech and Language, Behavior, and Vision.
Each discipline works collaboratively to provide additional supports that may include aquautics, hippo therapy, horticulture, and recreation.

The mission of the Monarch School of New England is as follows: The Monarch School of New England supports individuals with special needs so they can realize their greatest potential. In this nurturing environment, a comprehensively trained staff works one-on-one with each individual, uniquely integrating both education and therapy, to ensure successful transitions to school and to the community.
Our success is based on the belief that services can be more effectively provided through an integrated, collaborative team approach and with a vast array of traditional and innovative programs.
