School profile

Overview

The Deron School of New Jersey is a state-approved private school for students with multiple disabilities, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and Down syndrome. Since 1967 we have provided a nurturing environment, family culture, and personalized curriculum to help students reach their greatest potential, with campuses in Montclair and Union.

At our Montclair campus we serve older students from seventh grade through age 21, primarily from Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Middlesex, Morris, Passaic, Somerset, and Union counties, whose needs cannot be met in their sending school district. Our state-renowned approach to educating students on the autism spectrum works to maximize academic skills, functional communication, and life skills.

Our Community-Based Instruction and daily living skills curriculum begins at age five and culminates in our Bridge Transition Program, preparing students for life after age 21. We provide ABA, sensory integration, and PT, OT, speech-language therapy, and counseling, and we invite districts, child study teams, and families to see success in action through monthly open houses and tours.
