Stanbridge Academy

​stanbridge academy is a caring, inclusive k–12 school for students with mild to moderate learning differences and social communication challenges. we use an individualized, whole student approach so that students thrive and develop their academic, social, and emotional capabilities to their fullest potential. stanbridge students have a variety of learning and social challenges. all of our students benefit from small class sizes, differentiated instruction, development of executive functioning skills, and a schoolwide social learning program. ​ many, if not most, of our students struggle with multiple challenges, and our program is designed to address the whole child through: • engaged and joyful classroom experiences with low student-to-teacher ratios (generally 8:1) • differentiated and supported content delivery tailored for individual student learning styles and needs, including an evolving assistive technology (or ed tech) program • incorporating executive functioning skills, social skills, and pragmatics curriculum at all grade levels • integrated experiential learning both on and off campus • comprehensive electives and extracurricular and social activities • transition programs, including mainstreaming to public/private schools, life skills, college preparation, and job skills training for high school students our skilled faculty and staff are dedicated to understanding each student’s learning and interpersonal styles in order to seamlessly integrate social skills into the classroom and all aspects of student life. we teach students to better understand themselves and learn how to better self-advocate. while the school’s core focus is our academic program, our philosophy is to provide a whole school experience and community for each student at every grade level. we want each of our students to have the opportunity to participate in any age-appropriate, school-related activity that they might not otherwise be able to access at a traditional school.
