The Gifford School provides educational and clinical services for students with special academic, behavioral and emotional needs. We are committed to helping students increase their self-esteem, gain academic knowledge, develop social skills, and achieve success. We acknowledge and support the importance of cultural and racial diversity and believe in a multicultural environment. All aspects of our program will strive to reflect this commitment.

Statement of Multicultural Competence

The Gifford School is committed to ensuring that services to racially and culturally diverse children and their families are provided in a manner that reflects sensitivity and responsiveness to their educational and social needs. The Executive Director, the Board of Directors and others in a management role at Gifford recommend that concepts of culture be integrated in every aspect of teaching, hiring and staff, assemblies, and all areas of the campus milieu.
