St. Coletta Day School

St. Coletta Day School, part of the Cardinal Cushing Centers, provides a specialized educational environment designed to support students with mild to severe special needs. The program focuses on fostering healthy emotional, personal, and physical growth through a curriculum that integrates academic learning with essential life skills.

The classrooms are language-based and utilize formal programs to enhance communication, including sign language and visual aids for students facing verbal communication challenges. Beyond academics, the school offers pre-vocational opportunities both in the classroom and in the community, helping students develop independence and productivity. The curriculum emphasizes self-advocacy, decision-making, and social skills like mutual respect and cooperation.

As a nonsectarian special education school, the program is dedicated to building the self-esteem and knowledge of every student. While specific grade levels are available upon inquiry, the school operates with a small, focused student body to ensure personalized care and attention to each student's unique developmental needs.
