GELLER HOUSE SCHOOL

Geller House School is a specialized educational facility located in Staten Island, New York, that operates as an integral part of the New York City Department of Education’s District 75. District 75 is specifically designed to provide high-quality, individualized instruction to students with diverse learning needs, including those with significant developmental disabilities, emotional challenges, or those requiring intensive support services. The school serves as a transitional or residential educational setting, often working in tandem with the Jewish Board of Family and Children's Services to support youth who are placed in out-of-home care.

Because of its specific mission, Geller House focuses heavily on a therapeutic educational model that balances rigorous academics with emotional and behavioral support. The school environment is structured to promote safety and stability, utilizing small class sizes and highly trained staff to help students work toward their personal and academic milestones. By fostering a nurturing atmosphere, Geller House aims to help its students gain the skills necessary for personal growth and eventual reintegration into their home communities or general education settings.
