About Us

The Foundation School opened in 1966 to provide for the education of children with special needs. The core concept was to use a team approach to best focus on the individual requirements of each student. 

We emphasize the development of language skills and maintain an average teacher to pupil ratio of 1:2. Our goal is to help students develop the competencies they need to maximize their potential succeed in our program or return to their local school.

We accept referrals from boards of education, as well as other agencies, or from parents who might want to consider private placement.

At The Foundation School, we pride ourselves on our

  • top-notch staff
  • first-rate facilities
  • individualized programming
  • happy kids
