Our team of creative, collaborative, and committed special educators creates and implements an individualized curriculum for each student based on their strengths to prepare them for a fulfilling life in a neurodiverse world.
As one of the first schools devoted to Autism in New England, we invoke a pioneering mindset in everything we do, including how we guide our students based on their own vision of their future.
As the only school in Massachusetts to offer the innovative and evidence-based SCERTS® Model, which allows us to strategically customize a curriculum for each student, we are proud to measure success through the individual student’s achievements.

LEAGUE SCHOOL CARES A WHOLE LOT
"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better." That's a famous quote from the Dr. Seuss book, The Lorax, and theme of the bulletin board in Hannah Goldman's classroom 208. League School teachers, like Hannah, go the extra distance to make our students feel supported and feel they belong.

AUTISM EMPOWERMENT INSIGHTS
Girls are 4 times less likely to be diagnosed with Autism than boys because they don't fit typical stereotypes and may mask better than boys. Minority children, particularly Black and Hispanic youth, face a delay in diagnosis of up to 3 years compared to white peers due to barriers to accessing care, cultural and language differences, lack of information, and systemic racism. Stay tuned as League School's Director of Neurodiversity & Community Inclusion, Lindsay Thelin Wagner, shares autism empowerment insights during the entire month of April.
