The Ivy Street School is a special education residential and day high school for neurodivergent youth.

We work with students to prepare them for adulthood with the tools they need to achieve their greatest independence. At Ivy Street, we support neurodivergent youth through a person-centered model that is driven by collaboration, a willingness to think big, and a commitment to really knowing the young people we serve. Across our educational, residential, and community-based programs, we support adolescents and young adults with disabilities by creating the therapeutic conditions that allow them to thrive. Our approach is evidence-based, trauma-informed, and laser-focused on strengthening healing, deepening community, building skills, and accelerating motivation for successful adulthood.

Beginning a new school year always makes us nostalgic for graduation!

In May, we were so proud to celebrate the graduation of five incredible Ivy Street students, and while we already miss our graduates a lot, we can't wait to see what they do next!

As we head into our fall semester, we want to fall back down the rabbit hole to Ivy Street Prom!

This past spring, students dressed up to attend our Alice in Wonderland themed prom, a night of magic, dancing, and celebration. Thank you to our students and staff for making this event so whimsical and unforgettable!

July is Disability Pride Month!

As we close out this July, we want to reflect on disability pride, the advocacy and celebration that this month represents, and how we'll be continuing this pride throughout the entire year!

This year marks the 36th anniversary of the ADA, and we are thrilled to be recognizing and celebrating disability pride, and to continue building awareness and advocating with and for communities with disabilities.
