The Parish Way
Why Parish
Speech and Language Therapy
Every student on campus has a speech-language pathologist on their teaching team supporting the unique communication and language based learning needs of you child.
Nature-based Learning
Daily nature-based learning opportunities facilitate children’s intellectual, social and emotional development through direct, hands-on engagement with our environment.
Low Class Ratios
Our class student to adult ratio is capped at 5:1 and may be lower depending on the age and level of the child. Low ratios give students the opportunity to receive more individualized instruction and support to develop their communication skills.
Social-Emotional Language & Learning Program
This whole-child approach is a school-wide model of support that incorporates intervention strategies that build skills across developmental areas and promote successful group learning, self-regulation, independence and resilience.
Arts & Sciences
Full-time specialists lead weekly classes for children to explore creativity and expression through music, theater, art, library, physical education, technology and even a makerspace.
On-Site Clinic
The Carruth Center clinicians frequently collaborate with Parish School educators to maximize a child’s learning potential. Offering an on-site clinic where students may attend therapy sessions during or after school allows convenience for our families.
