There are many different pathways to knowledge and the Community Schools were created almost a half-century ago to help children find their own path to success.
What we do
The Community (Lower) School and Community High School in Teaneck, New Jersey provide structured, small-group/one-to-one, multisensory, individually-tailored education to bright children with learning differences and attention deficits.
Established In 1968
The Community (Lower) School and Community High School in Teaneck, New Jersey have been providing a structured, individually-tailored education to bright children with learning differences and attention deficits since beginning in a single room in 1968.
Serving Special Children
Founded by Dr. Beatrice Lieben, Ph.D., The Community School has served children with learning and attentional disabilities for over 45 years. We strive to combine a quality education with a nurturing social experience to prepare our students for higher education and success in life.
And Helping Them Succeed
More than 90% of our graduates attend colleges and universities. We are proud that the school’s primary goal continues to focus on allowing students to achieve the highest level of performance in the classroom commensurate with their individual abilities and talents.
Through small group instruction and innovative teaching, the schools expose students to a wide range of information and activities available in the educational mainstream and ensure that all students excel and reach their individual potential.
HOW WE HELP KIDS LEARN
Many of the techniques now used widely to help young people achieve the level of accomplishment fully commensurate with their ability, intellect and talents were pioneered at the Community School.
- In small classroom settings our highly trained teachers provide students in K-12 with remedial help and a challenging curriculum designed to meet each student’s needs and learning style while providing a complete academic experience and building self-confidence.
- By the time our students graduate they have learned how they learn, the absolutely essential skill that will enable them to succeed.
- As we proudly celebrate over five decades of providing a quality educational experience for young people with learning differences, we remain committed to assisting our students in becoming contributing members of their communities.
