Bloomsbury, NJGrades K-12 & up to 22No cost to families (district-funded placement)

Founded in 1978 as the Stepping Stone School, Warren Glen Academy is a New Jersey approved private school for students with disabilities, set on a rural campus in Bloomsbury. Students come to us through their home district's Child Study Team, and the district pays tuition, so families pay nothing. We serve elementary, middle and high school students identified with autism spectrum disorder, developmental delays, health impairments, multiple disabilities, speech and language impairments, emotional regulation impairment, ADD and ADHD. Our approach is built on Glasser's Choice Theory, which teaches students to own their choices. Instruction is individualized and aligned to the New Jersey Student Learning Standards, with individual and group counseling, speech therapy, occupational therapy, a school social worker and a sensory room. Students take art, music, woodshop, computer science with robotics, drones and 3D printing, and world languages including Spanish, French, German and ASL. A life skills lab with a kitchen and laundry supports our Job Exploration Transition program for students ages 16 to 21. We also offer therapy dogs, equine therapy, adaptive physical education, drivers education and a six-week extended school year.

Frequently Asked Questions About Special Needs Schools in Bloomsbury

What special education landscape do Bloomsbury and Warren County families see?

Bloomsbury sits in Greenwich Township, Warren County, so Greenwich Township School District leads child study team evaluations for most resident students. The private program listed on this page is Warren Glen Academy, which families often review when comparing specialized day-school options. Warren County districts each maintain separate teams, so confirm your municipality before submitting a referral.

How do Bloomsbury parents request a child study team evaluation?

Greenwich Township conducts evaluations for students who may have learning, communication, social, emotional, or motor difficulties under New Jersey's Child Find requirements. Parents may refer children when concerns arise. Official team information is at Greenwich Township Child Study Team, with statewide guidance on NJDOE Special Education.

What funding paths exist for private special needs schools near Bloomsbury?

New Jersey has no K-12 private school choice program for special education. Public funding for Warren Glen Academy or another private placement generally follows an IEP team determination that FAPE requires that setting. Rural Warren County families sometimes weigh district programs in neighboring towns when local options feel limited.

What should I ask when comparing programs for significant learning needs?

Ask how each school defines eligibility, what therapeutic services occur on site, and how it coordinates with Greenwich Township. Request clarity on class structure, safety planning, and transition goals. Compare Warren Glen Academy with district proposals using one checklist before you decide.

How do Warren County families manage long drives to specialized placements?

Distance between Bloomsbury and regional programs can affect attendance and therapy schedules. Ask schools about late-start options and how missed sessions are made up after weather closures. SPAN can help you review transportation and related-service language at SPAN PTI before you accept an out-of-district seat.
