Mission

At the John A. Coleman School, children participate in exceptional educational programs that engage their unique abilities by adapting the learning environment and providing opportunities for creative expression and spiritual growth.

Philosophy

The John A. Coleman School is a child-centered educational environment where the partnership between student, family and staff supports learning each day. Through loving attention and care, we celebrate and honor the individuality of every child, and respect and nurture the cultural and religious backgrounds of our students and families. Through content-based instruction, including multi-sensory adapted lessons based on New York State Learning Standards, our children have the opportunity to learn, explore, interact with the world around them, and to engage in creative arts and community activities.
