Teachers and Staff

The teachers and staff at Stanbridge bring specific, relevant expertise to this work.

Our teachers hold credentials in their subject areas and many also hold credentials in special education. Our support staff includes licensed clinicians, credentialed specialists and experienced administrators who collaborate daily across every part of the school. That collaboration is part of how Stanbridge works. A student's counselor, teacher and speech-language pathologist are not operating independently — they share information, coordinate support and respond together when a student needs something different.
