Our Innovative, Integrated Educational Approach Helps Students Realize Their Full Potential
League School is committed to introducing pioneering approaches into its day and residential programs. We are one of the first and only schools in Massachusetts to incorporate the SCERTS® Model into our educational curriculum. SCERTS stands for: Social Communication, Emotional Regulation, and Transactional Support (interpersonal and learning supports, and supports to families). SCERTS supports the cornerstone of our educational approach: contextual learning. The model augments our long-standing goal of helping students spontaneously apply relevant skills in different settings in a variety of ways.
