Mission
The Joy School prepares students with learning differences to return to traditional classroom settings by enabling them to reach their academic and social potential in a safe, supportive environment.
Philosophy
We believe students with learning differences learn best when given opportunities to:
• Be viewed and taught as individuals with unique strengths, weaknesses and learning styles
• Understand and respect individual strengths, weaknesses and learning styles in others
• Set reasonable and achievable goals for themselves
• Discover and accept their personal strengths, weaknesses and learning styles and practice advocating for themselves based on these qualities
• Receive remedial instruction in areas they find difficult, while being allowed to excel in other areas
• Learn in small group settings
• Participate in activities which allow them to work directly on social skills
Work at Joy
Our people love what they do and love the people they do it with more. We like to have fun and work hard. We are curious and persistent. We embrace differences and live to make an impact. We are committed to our students, the families of our students and to each other. This is #HowSchoolShouldBe.
