At Campus School at Boston College, we believe in realizing the potential of each student. Our caring staff of teachers, therapists, and nurses work together with families to provide a personalized education for students ages 3 to 22 with extensive support needs, including complex medical needs. Our private, publicly funded, special education day school is located within the Lynch School of Education and Human Development on the Boston College campus. The Campus School benefits from innovative research in special education, graduate student Teacher Assistants, a thriving University-wide volunteer program, and meaningful relationships with Boston College athletes and teams.
