A Track Record of Student Success
Students who learn differently have found success at Stanbridge for more than 30 years. Our school is fully accredited by CAIS and WASC through the 2024–2025 academic year.
Small Class Sizes in All Grades
Our classes use standards-based curriculum and generally maintain an 8:1 student-to-teacher ratio, allowing for individualized, differentiated instruction for effective learning.
Meaningful Experiential Program
Students participate in curriculum-based day trips and overnight experiences that reinforce classroom content, help develop independence, and build self-confidence.
​Executive Functioning
Support and development of executive functioning skills is incorporated throughout our program. Assistive technology and learning supports are integrated to ensure that every student thrives in their classroom environment.
Social & Emotional Development
​In addition to academics, our program addresses the whole child. Our staff includes a full-time Speech & Language therapist, and two licensed MFT counselors. Weekly social learning classes and social groups are incorporated into our curriculum.
Ensuring Postsecondary Success
Historically, about 75% of all Stanbridge graduates continue their academic careers; others enroll in residential education programs or enter the workforce. Our Transitions program ensures students find the best next-step that is right for them.
