Our mission is to enable students to reach their full educational potential through a multi-sensory, developmental, language-intensive curriculum.
The Katherine Thomas School is a place where grit and persistence are nurtured, kindness is practiced, creativity is celebrated, and every student is supported and challenged to become their strongest, most independent self.”
We serve students, preschool through 12th grade.
Since our founding in 1995, The Katherine Thomas School (KTS) has provided an exceptional educational experience for children with language and learning disabilities, Autism, intellectual disabilities, and/or other health impairments.
Lower and Middle School
Our Lower and Middle School Programs serve students in kindergarten through 8th grade with speech/language impairment, language and learning disabilities, autism, intellectual disabilities, and/or other health impairments that affect their learning.
KTS High School
The Katherine Thomas School High School Program (KTHS) is tailored for students in grades 9 through 12 with language and learning disabilities, autism, intellectual disabilities, and/or other health impairments.
Summer Programs
Students often lose skills over extended school breaks. To help your child avoid summer regression (including losing valuable academic, social-emotional, speech-language, and motor skills) enroll them in one or more of our specialized Summer Programs.
