Dedicated to exceptional academic, social, emotional, and behavioral supports and related services, the Doctor Franklin Perkins School provides a 12-month academic program for students in Grades K-12 and beyond through age 21. Additionally, for those students requiring 24-hour support, our residential program provides full after-school programming and round the clock support to help facilitate their learning and development. We are committed to a learning environment that has an academically challenging curriculum, a philosophy of teaching that focuses on individual student strengths, and an emphasis on seeing students succeed. Families and caregivers are a vital resource, and we seek their partnership to participate in planning and decision-making. •Reading Services •Strong Electives Program in Music, Art, Swimming •Full Gymnasium, Indoor Pool, Fitness Center •Therapeutic horsemanship program •Spacious, Light-filled Classrooms, Library, and Dining Room; Outdoor Learning Areas; •Job Readiness Program •NEASC and COA Accredited
