Description

For over 60 years it has been the goal of the Reece School to meet the educational and therapeutic needs of psychologically fragile children.

The Reece School has a highly academic elementary special education program for 90 students, ages 5 to 13, who are psychologically fragile and may have learning or emotional disabilities or speech and language impairments. The school's program is full-day and is offered within a nurturing environment designed to provide high levels of academic and emotional support. Children study a standard New York State Curriculum for grades K-6 in all academic areas, modified and sequenced to meet their individual needs as expressed in their Individual Education Plan (IEP).

State support covers about 75 percent of the total cost of educating a student at the Reece School. Your contribution to the Annual Fund is the key to providing a margin of excellence that is the hallmark of a Reece education. Gifts to the Annual Fund support the school's most fundamental current needs as well as future goals in the areas of instruction, parent support and program expansion. The quality programs we provide exist only because of because of your commitment to our mission.
