The Children's Center for Communication / Beverly School for the Deaf

The Children's Center for Communication / Beverly School for the Deaf Founded in 1876, Beverly School for the Deaf is one of the oldest schools for Deaf and hard of Hearing children in the U.S.

Our Mission : Enhancing lives of deaf and/or disabled individuals, their families, and communities through person-centered, specialized educational programming in a language-rich, inclusive environment. While much has changed since then, the school remains committed to providing exceptional education for children who are deaf, hard-of-hearing, or who have other special communication and learning n

eeds. In the 1980s the school expanded its educational opportunities to include children with many secondary issues including Autism, Cerebral Palsy, developmental delays, and physical challenges. In 2008, to more accurately reflect our mission and student community, the school’s name was changed to The Children’s Center for Communication/Beverly School for the Deaf. Today, the school and its two support programs The Children’s Center for Communication (CCC) and The Beverly School for the Deaf (BSD) are more diverse than ever, serving close to 150 children and their families from 40 communities.
