As her practice grew, she began to see the need for intensive services in a private school setting and in 1983 opened the doors of The Parish School. The goal is to teach to the strenghths of each child before he or she fails, experiences frustration, becomes angry, exhibits discipline problems, tunes out and gives up or loses self-esteem. Student teacher ratio is 5 to 1 - With a maximum of 8 per class in the early childhood program and 10 per class in the preschool through third grade, children at The Parish School receive individualized treatment as well as group opportunities. Monthly meetings are scheduled for this purpose. Individual parent conferences, circulation of pertinent articles and opportunities for parent interaction are provided throughout the year.
Parents learn to be advocates for their children.
The Parish School, a licensed non-profit organization,provides scholarships and admits qualified children of any race, color, national and ethnic origin.
