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.

Chinchilla

The Green Chimneys wildlife classroom is home to an adorable pair of chinchilla brothers who are often the first animals students want to hold. The brothers are inquisitive and playful but also very shy so students must be calm, and allow the chinchillas to come to them. The students love to build tunnels and play areas for the chinchillas and watch them in their favorite activities: taking dust baths (an instinctive act to clean their fur) and eating raisins. Considered to be the softest animal in the world, the chinchilla is a rodent native to the Andes Mountains of South America, and is a relative of the porcupine and guinea pig.
