FROM THE ACADEMIC DEAN

We believe that every student at Maplebrook School has the ability to learn and grow academically, emotionally, and socially.  Our faculty take pride in providing a nurturing environment where each student can feel comfortable to succeed each day with positive supports and an exciting, challenging curriculum.  This allows for a successful learning environment and helps our students try to overcome their learning differences.  We do not have lower expectations for our students. Rather, we understand that they may have to take some different paths to achieve the goals of other typically learning students. Maplebrook’s philosophy for special needs students as being one of understanding and going the extra mile.  

There is no such thing as a one-size fits all education.

Using multi-sensory, individualized approaches to learning for each student, Maplebrook provides an academic setting that is both supportive and adequately challenging. We believe in our students’ abilities, and strive to enable them to rise to higher levels of academic achievement than they’ve previously attained.
Maplebrook School adheres to the New York State Learning Standards in structuring its curriculum and graduation requirements.
