Park School

Park School focuses on the needs of students who have learning and/or physical challenges. Students are ages 3 - 21 and share the goal of maximizing their strengths toward preparation for an inclusive and happy adult life. The school day is divided into 8 periods: readiness, reading, writing, math, homeliving skills, physical education, vocational... skills and job placement. Art and music are also part of the school week. Students can also benefit from related services provided in the school, including speech-language, social work, occupational therapy, physical therapy, hearing impairment services and vision impairment services, as indicated on their Individualized Education Plan. At age 16 many students are placed in jobs in the Evanston community. By the time they graduate, students have experienced several different job placements giving them a choice of opportunities as an adult. Many of Park's alumni continue to work in jobs they had as a student at Park.Read More
