Ivy Street
Ivy Street is committed to advancing equity and access for young people. We offer a small, year-round, day and residential special education school in Brookline, Massachusetts, serving public school students across the northeast. We drive community and real-world learning through two unique residential programs, a high school and our post-secondary and transition program, so that every young person is prepared to step into adulthood with the tools needed to achieve their greatest independence. Additionally, through our Skills for Life program, we support in-home skill development for young adults. Using a lens of disability justice, we support the whole child through a student-first model driven by collaboration, a willingness to think big, and a commitment to knowing our students well. Our multidisciplinary team creates rich and meaningful experiences that decrease isolation, cultivate healing, and nurture learning. Finally, we offer caregivers support in skill-building and healing so that every young person can launch their vision for their lives with the supports and experiences to thrive.
