Programs and Services
Residential Education Program
Located on our main campus, Saint Vincent's provides for the educational needs of students within our Department of Education approved twelve-month K – 12 school program. Students reside in home-like cottages on the campus and attend classes within our elementary, middle and high school programs. We offer small, structured classroom settings, which allow for individualized instruction to meet the diverse educational needs of our students to support their success in achieving learning goals as delineated in each student's Individual Education Plan. All Curriculum is aligned with the MA Department of Education Frameworks with an emphasis on core subjects. In addition, all students are prepared to take the competency tests prescribed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to qualify for receipt of a high school diploma. Many of our students have experienced much fragmentation in their education and have not viewed themselves as capable of success within the classroom. Individualized programming and positive learning experiences not only support the students' academic achievement but also supports the development of self-esteem and the opportunity to imagine new opportunities for growth and learning.
