Who Should Apply?
Clark School welcomes students of all types, with varied interests, strengths, and weaknesses who are ready to capitalize on their time at Clark and build relationships, skills, and confidence. Our students are kind, caring individuals who support their fellow learners while working toward a solid understanding of their own academic and social needs. Motivated and willing to accept help from their community, Clark students depart with a strong understanding of how to advocate for themselves.
Clark School is not a special education school; however, it is unique in that we work with students who have learning differences (dyslexia, high functioning autism, executive functioning, processing delay, etc.), as well as academically average students and gifted/accelerated students, or students who play sports or have careers and utilize our online platforms. We also welcome students on IEPs, neuropsychs and/or 504 plans, if their individual needs fall into our range of available supports. At Clark, we are an open and accepting community where students and staff have mutual respect for one another.
Our families come to us from many areas
Clark School families primarily live on the North Shore and Merrimack Valley (Amesbury, Andover, Boxford, Georgetown, Groveland, Haverhill, Hamilton, Ipswich, Lawrence, Merrimack, Methuen, Newbury, Newburyport, North Andover, Rowley, Salisbury, Wenham, and West Newbury). Many come as far as New Hampshire, southern Maine, and suburban Boston!
We currently have transportation routes for students in K-12 from Beverly/Salem/Swampscott, North Andover/Methuen/Amesbury, and Burlington/Lynnfield/Danvers.
