Beverly School for the Deaf is a small school which prides itself in specialized curriculums to meet the individual needs of its students. Structured language teaching is integrated into all areas of instruction. BSD believes in encouraging English first and we use Signing Exact English as our sign mode.
Teachers use units based on a theme and incorporate students' experiences to facilitate learning.
Each of our classes has a small number of students assigned, allowing for more direct attention to each student. BSD students are provided with FM amplification systems. These systems enable students to use any hearing they possess, helping them with development of speech. The BSD program includes the support services of a speech language pathologist, a guidance counselor, a school nurse, an art teacher and a physical education teacher. Audiological management and testing is done on a consistent basis in cooperation with a local hospital.
