Spiritos School

Spiritos School is a specialized educational institution in Powhatan, Virginia, dedicated to supporting neurodiverse students from Pre-K through Grade 8 (ages 2 to 15). The school provides a compassionate, trauma-informed learning environment specifically designed for children with autism, behavioral challenges, and other unique developmental needs. By prioritizing safety and understanding, the school creates a nurturing space where students can focus on personal growth and academic progress.

The curriculum is highly individualized, utilizing programs aligned with Virginia Standards of Learning (SOLs) and Virginia's Alternate Assessment Program (VAAP). To support holistic development, Spiritos School integrates essential therapeutic services directly into the school day, including Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, and social skills groups. These interventions are tailored to each student's specific needs, using positive reinforcement to foster autonomy and confidence.

With a low student-teacher ratio, the school ensures personalized attention and a strong focus on building positive relationships between staff and students. Beyond the classroom, Spiritos School emphasizes community integration and offers vocational training opportunities to prepare students for successful transitions to less restrictive settings. Families are encouraged to contact the school directly for tuition information and to learn more about their specialized programming.
