Story

The Westport Day School is a therapeutic school for students with internalizing behaviors, complex learning profiles, and unique academic needs. With small class sizes of 1-4 students, the Westport Day School is a highly therapeutic, yet academically challenging environment. At the core of our school model is a strong, student centered, treatment alliance. This alliance includes teachers, parents, clinicians, and individualized and student driven curriculum.

The Westport Day School serves students in grades 3 - 12. A Westport Day School Student may be a unique and uncommon learner. They may experience anxiety and/or depression, display academic avoidance or school refusal. They may struggle to identify their own strengths and weaknesses; lack self-awareness or be unengaged in their learning process.

We accept students with diagnosed learning disabilities, have complex learning profiles, have average to above average intelligence and can regulate their behavior in a small, therapeutic, classroom setting.
