Program

At Gifford we believe education should be multi-dimensional and focus on each child being a successful learner. 

We offer language-based instruction that incorporates visual, auditory and hands-on learning based on the Massachusetts Frameworks. Parents and the public school systems are active participants in planning for each student's Individualized Educational Program (IEP). We meet together at annual team meetings and communicate throughout the year. The Gifford School's Education Director is responsible for ensuring that all enrolled students participate in MCAS testing in accordance with the student's IEP. Prior to the administration of the MCAS testing, head teachers review and prepare for each student's testing, including accommodations. 


Gifford provides a quality education that is individualized for each student.
