Riverside School is a MA-766 approved, non-profit, therapeutic day school designed to meet the academic and therapeutic needs of middle and high school-age adolescents. We specialize in educating teens with mental health diagnoses, including severe anxiety, depression, and trauma, that impact their social-emotional well-being and academic environment and are underserved by the public school setting. With small classes year-round, a low student-teacher ratio, and an emphasis on clinical wellness, scholastic achievement, and personal growth, Riverside School offers students and families an individualized approach to learning and therapy in a small, safe, inclusive environment. With two locations in Needham and Milford, Massachusetts, Riverside School is a subsidiary of Riverside Community Care, which provides more than 40,000 children, adolescents, and adults with a broad range of behavioral healthcare and human services. Riverside School is an accredited member of the Massachusetts Association of 766-Approved Private Schools and the Council for Exceptional Children.
