The elementary and middle school programs are designed to provide a comprehensive academic curriculum that is fully accessible, incorporating braille instruction, assistive technology, and specialized instructional strategies tailored to the unique learning needs of each child. Beyond core academics, the school places a strong emphasis on the "Expanded Core Curriculum," which teaches vital life skills such as independent living, orientation and mobility, social interaction, and sensory efficiency, ensuring students gain the confidence and autonomy necessary for future success.
