Who We Serve
Green Chimneys School is designed for students who have been unsuccessful in a traditional educational setting and who require a small, structured and therapeutically supportive setting.
We serve over 80 school districts across New York State and parts of Connecticut, with a majority coming from Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess Counties. Students are typically enrolled for two or more years for therapeutic and educational services, and many return to their home school district.
