Academics


G. Stanley Hall School offers a high quality curriculum in a specialized setting. Academic courses are taught in accordance with Massachusetts Frameworks. As such, all students are required to take Math, English, Science, History, Physical Education and Health. These subjects are taught by trained and experienced educators who adapt traditional teaching methods to capture student attention, reduce individual isolation, promote teamwork and instill individual accountability.

Our robust curriculum is enhanced by additional program goals, which are incorporated into each classroom and activity in a variety of ways:
