Holy Childhood's School Program offers comprehension and therapeutic services to children ages five to twenty-one with intellectual disabilities.
The overall curriculum focuses on the development of the “whole” student with emphasis placed on academic, social, physical, vocational and recreational growth.
Students enrolled at Holy Childhood follow a modified New York State curriculum and participate in the New York State Alternate Assessment.
All students have an Individual Education Plan (IEP), generated collaboratively by the home school district and Holy Childhood staff.
The Program consists of four 8:1:1 classes and seven 12:1:1 classes.
The 8:1:1 classes are generally for our elementary aged students (ages 5-10 years).
Our teaching staff is comprised of highly trained and motivated instructors who are exceptional in their personal commitment and involvement in the lives of our students. Vist www.holychildhood.org for more information.
