*This page is currently under construction and the information displayed above may be inaccurate. Please visit our website for more details.* Willie Ross School for the Deaf has always been committed to an integrated approach to instruction and developed the dual-campus system in response to studies that showed students with a hearing loss have diverse needs that may require equally diverse instructional settings. Some students learn best at our Longmeadow Campus where they are immersed in a specialized academic environment, while others learn best at the Partnership Campus where they are included in classes with their hearing peers. WRSD employs the Most Enabling Environment for its students, where placement in an educational setting is based on an assessment of a student's individual strengths and challenges and the environment's capacity to facilitate accessible, quality learning experiences.
