Heartwood School

Heartwood School, part of the Ingham Intermediate School District (ISD), provides specialized educational services for a wide range of learners, from preschool (ages 2-5) through high school (grades 9-12). The school is dedicated to fostering an inclusive environment specifically designed to address educational gaps for students requiring IEP support and specialized educational services.

The school offers a robust range of therapeutic and academic interventions tailored to diverse learning needs. This includes Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for behavioral support, Orton-Gillingham methodologies for students with dyslexia, and comprehensive speech and language therapy. To support holistic development, the district provides occupational therapy to assist with essential life skills, as well as social skills groups to facilitate peer interaction and relationship building.

Heartwood School emphasizes a personalized approach through low student-teacher ratios and a collaborative model that works closely with families. The curriculum is enhanced by specialized technology and vocational training programs aimed at preparing students for successful transitions into adulthood. Families can also access preschool programs and summer learning opportunities to ensure continuous educational engagement.
