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.

Cricket

Say hello to Cricket! Born May 15, 2019 to mama Maya, this mini horse foal was the apple of our eye before she even arrived. For students who may struggle with human relationships, communicating or regulating emotions, preparing for Cricket’s birth provided learning opportunities and life lessons. “Watching a new life begin and seeing the foal’s connection to its mother – these experiences are not only priceless, but they can also be therapeutic”, says Michael Kaufmann, Director of Green Chimneys Farm & Wildlife Director and Head of The Sam and Myra Ross Institute.
