The Camphill School

The Camphill School for Children and Youth with Disabilities has been a beacon of support and education since 1963, dedicated to serving children and youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including those with language-based learning disabilities and twice-exceptional students. The school’s core mission revolves around providing individualized, hands-on learning experiences that foster not only academic growth but also meaningful social connections and fulfilling work opportunities. Utilizing a holistic educational approach inspired by the principles of Rudolf Steiner, the school emphasizes the importance of imagination, truth, and responsibility in nurturing free human beings capable of directing their own lives. Unique aspects of the Camphill School include its low student-teacher ratio, which ensures personalized attention for each student, as well as strong partnerships with families that create a supportive community environment. Additionally, the school hosts special events like the Camphill Gala to engage families and raise funds for its programs, further enhancing its commitment to building a lifetime of opportunity for its students.
