Campus Selection

Students come to Y.A.L.E. School with a wide range of abilities and aspirations.

Many have experienced learning, emotional, and social frustrations in other school settings, at home, and in their communities.

Often, they have one or more clinical diagnoses including anxiety disorder; Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD – mild-moderate or severe); attention deficit disorder/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); bipolar and other mood disorders; obsessive-compulsive disorder; oppositional defiant disorder; specific learning disability; or Tourette’s syndrome.

While each student is unique, each shares a learning profile with our other students. They require individualized, comprehensive, evidence-based intervention, and a school that is staffed by well-trained professionals who understand and appreciate them, as well as prove deeply committed to students’ individual progress and well-being.

Learn about the profiles of the students at our various Y.A.L.E. campuses below.   

Y.A.L.E. School Northfield and Y.A.L.E. School Ellisburg

Our students require small class sizes and a multidisciplinary approach that includes differentiated academic instruction, psychiatric services, and a partnership between parents and school staff. Our students are in need of intensive behavioral and emotional support as most have been diagnosed with at least one of the following psychiatric or developmental disorders: Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Oppositional-Defiant Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and/or Mood Disorders. Although our students are quite capable of connecting with people interpersonally, their emotional dysregulation, behavior, and/or psychiatric differences often interfere with their ability to sustain healthy relationships.
