A prevailing philosophy is evident in the performance of the faculty and staff at the School for Blind Children - every student is respected, encouraged and rewarded for efforts. Over two hundred and fifty staff members are employed by the School. The professional staff includes teachers, therapists, specialists and nurses.
Every teacher is highly qualified for a specific assignment.
Classroom teachers are required to have Pennsylvania Department of Education certification in vision impairments. Ninety percent of the faculty are at a Masters level and many teachers are certified in one or more areas. All therapists and nurses are licensed by the Commonwealth in their respective disciplines. The School offers a strong Staff Development Program for all employees. A Committee oversees the selection, implementation and evaluation of all staff development programs.
