About Us

Anderson School
Our empathetic and trained Anderson School staff of teachers, assistants, dedicated full-time classroom nurses, occupational, physical, speech-language and other therapists work collaboratively and partner with parents to provide a safe and nurturing learning environment focusing on each student’s potential.

We challenge each student to grow and learn, through instruction, play and therapies while celebrating each moment and accomplishment.

“It makes us feel comfortable that our child is 100% safe – not just in the building but also the way the staff present themselves, and are. I know my child is in good hands and for a mom with a non-verbal child, that means the world!

— Anderson School Parent
