The admissions process at Stanbridge
We would love to have you visit our campus and see our classrooms, students, and teachers in action, but current protocols continue to limit our ability to host campus visitors during the school day. Nonetheless, we are able to welcome interested families to visit and tour our facilities on a limited, controlled basis to ensure everyone's safety.
If you are currently looking for placement for your child, we will work with you step-by-step through the admissions process to understand your child's needs, their learning differences, their challenges and strengths, and ensure that you and your child feel comfortable and confident if Stanbridge is the right fit.
