Education

For over 60 years it has been the goal of the Reece School to meet the educational and therapeutic needs of psychologically fragile children.  The present program consists of three basic elements:

1) an academic curriculum which includes New York State approved, standards driven differentiated instruction in language arts, mathematics, social studies, health, science, adaptive physical education, study skills and creative arts;

2) related services of speech and language therapy, occupational therapy and counseling, as mandated; 

3) a therapeutic milieu emphasizing highly individualized behavioral and psycho-dynamic programming to assist all children in attaining both interpersonal and community related social skills to help prepare them to become competent and happy individuals, family members and citizens.
