Boarding school in Amenia, NY, specializing in support for students with ADHD, ASD, and language-based learning differences
Maplebrook School is an independent, coeducational boarding school in Amenia, NY, dedicated to providing a holistic education for students with complex learning profiles. Since 1945, the school has specialized in supporting students with language-based learning differences, ADHD, ASD, and central auditory processing challenges. The school offers two distinct pathways: an accredited NY State high school program for students aged 11-18, and the Institute for Collegiate and Career Studies (ICCS) for young adults aged 18-21.
The learning environment is highly personalized, featuring an average class size of just 6 students and a faculty where 85% hold advanced degrees. Maplebrook focuses on character formation and academic empowerment, integrating essential supports such as speech and language services and tutoring directly into the tuition. To help prevent the "summer slide" and maintain skill retention, the school also offers a six-week summer program.
Beyond academics, students can engage in a wide variety of extracurricular activities, including equestrian, swimming, drama, and visual arts. The school operates on a rolling admissions basis and is nonsectarian. While the annual tuition is $73,500 (which includes room, board, and specialized services), approximately 30% of students receive financial aid.
