About this organization
Mission
The Joy School is a nonsectarian, independent, nonprofit day school focused on meeting the unique needs of students who, although intellectually capable, often have great difficulty finding success in a traditional school environment.
About
The Joy Development School offers developmentally appropriate and individualized education for children with significant learning disabilities and who are 1-3 years behind their peers academically. The learning disabilities include speech and language developmental delays, dyslexia, ADD/ADHD, and auditory processing disorders. The Joy School's goal is to bring these children back up to grade level so that when it is appropriate, they can return to mainstream education. For the 2018-2019 school year, the school enrolled 151 children from Kindergarten to 8th Grade, in 26 classrooms.
