Residential
With some of the students traveling more than an hour each way, The Scranton School places a major emphasis on providing the same kind of social, emotional and academic support that you would provide if your child were at home. Our residential students arrive on campus Monday morning and leave for their homes on Friday afternoon.
Preparation for Life
The Scranton School offers varying opportunities for students to socialize, including parties, dances, athletic events, movies, special dinners, a bowling league, ski club, and many more.
Because learning does not stop at the end of the day, residential staff is on hand to help with homework and answer academic questions. Daily chores and responsibilities help to reinforce the sense of belonging for every student. Students living in the dorm receive individual attention and support from our excellent staff as they complete their homework, learn and practice home-living skills and complete their chores.
In the evening hours, a nurse is on-call through the week, residing on campus in case of any health concerns.
The Graham Residence
Located on the new property in South Abington Township, 10 miles North of Scranton, is our newly renovated dormitory. In 2010, new drapes, paint, carpeting, tiling, kitchen cabinetry and appliances were installed. New furniture was added for their bedrooms, study areas, living room and TV room – complete with a 52-inch TV and a new Wii game, and fresh, bright paint throughout. The new fire/security system is specifically designed for the deaf and will automatically notify staff, police and fire departments of an emergency situation.
