Admissions

Green Chimneys’ therapeutic day school and residential treatment program are designed for children who have been unsuccessful in a traditional educational setting. Green Chimneys School is a structured and therapeutic educational experience. Small class sizes, high staff-to-student ratio, well-trained clinicians and educators, and a safe, supportive school environment are just a few things that make Green Chimneys the right choice for many students with special needs.

Ensuring the Right Setting for Your Child

Our seasoned Admissions Team works with you, your school district, hospitals, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, medical doctors, parent advocates, and attorneys to identify the needs of your child, and assess the appropriateness of the Green Chimneys educational and therapeutic program for your child.

Eli

The flightless emu is the largest bird native to Australia, but this particular emu didn’t travel that far, he’s from Massachusetts. Since he was 3 weeks old, Eli was hand-raised by the children at Green Chimneys and is imprinted, especially comfortable around humans and even other animals. In fact, Eli doesn’t mind sharing his paddock with sheep Bo Peep. At first, children can be afraid of Eli’s intimidating large beak and beady eyes.
