School Overview

Bergen Regional School (often referred to in the context of the Bergen County Special Services School District) is a specialized educational facility located in Paramus, New Jersey. It is designed to provide comprehensive, individualized instruction and therapeutic support for students with unique learning needs. The school focuses on fostering a structured and supportive environment where students can develop academic skills, social competencies, and functional life skills tailored to their specific Individualized Education Programs (IEPs).

The institution is highly regarded for its interdisciplinary approach, which integrates clinical services with classroom instruction. By utilizing a low student-to-teacher ratio and employing a diverse team of specialists—including speech therapists, occupational therapists, and counselors—the school ensures that each student receives the personalized attention necessary to reach their potential. Located on the Ridgewood Avenue campus, the school plays a vital role in the Bergen County community by providing specialized resources and inclusive opportunities for students who require a more intensive educational setting than a traditional public school can offer.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
