Our empathetic and trained staff of teachers, assistants, dedicated full-time classroom nurses, occupational, physical, speech-language and other therapists work collaboratively and partner with parents to provide a safe and nurturing learning environment focusing on each student’s potential.

We work closely with families and school districts to provide an exceptional educational program that maximizes each student’s independence and growth while catering to unique learning needs. We embody the intricate balance of structure and flexibility within a small, nurturing family environment.

Anderson School offers our non-traditional learners a typical school experience and a stimulating classroom setting. Our modifications and adaptations combined with an individualized approach to learning meet and exceed the state’s curriculum. We incorporate enrichment opportunities into our program such as music therapy, cooking and baking.

We are an 11-month program, with consistent scheduling and staffing year-round. The school has rolling admissions, so that eligible students can be enrolled at any time throughout the year.

We challenge each student to grow and learn, through instruction, play and therapies while celebrating each moment and accomplishment.

“We are deeply appreciative of the care that our child receives at Anderson School - care in terms of the team being invested in his health, wellness, and development, as well as caring about and finding delight in him as a person and friend.”

“It makes us feel comfortable that our child is 100% safe - not just in the building but also the way the staff present themselves, and are. I know my child is in good hands and for a mom with a non-verbal child, that means the world!”
