2025 Goals:
For more than 50 years, the Monarch School of New England has recognized that every student has potential, and every student can learn. Our school community offers outstanding academic, therapeutic, life skills, vocational and community-based instruction, which supports our students with special needs to reach their greatest potential in a caring, supportive environment.
The school continues to advance goals within the current strategic plan, such as strengthening the quality of vocational and transition programming offered, advocating for the needs of individuals with disabilities, and implementing consistent, comprehensive literacy instruction across all classrooms to help students progress in their reading and writing skills. Additionally, all staff members are being encouraged to pursue meaningful professional development opportunities to keep abreast of best practices in education and therapy.
Fundraising Events:
Events and community support help the Monarch School of New England provide the innovative programs, therapies and resources that support students to reach their greatest potential. Direct program sponsorships are available. In addition, the Monarch School of New England’s annual golf tournament is held annually on the Thursday before Memorial Day and sells out every year.
Giving Opportunities:
When individuals, businesses and foundations give to the Monarch School of New England, they’re demonstrating powerfully that they share our belief that every student has potential. Furthermore, every gift to the Monarch School of New England has a significant impact, as the success of our students requires an innovative and integrated approach utilizing programs, therapies, equipment and facilities that cannot be supported through public funding alone.
Donation opportunities include unrestricted gifts, gifts dedicated to a capital project, gifts of goods or services, gifts of stocks or securities, bequests, matching gifts and event/program sponsorships.
Just as we create individualized instructional programs to meet our students’ needs, we work closely with our community to create giving opportunities that align with their own unique goals. Please visit our website, or reach out directly, as we’d be honored to work with you to support your philanthropic vision.
Volunteer Opportunities:
The Monarch School of New England welcomes partnerships with local businesses who may host vocational program students for work-based learning opportunities. The school also appreciates groups who are willing to participate in campus projects. We’re grateful for those who are willing to share their time, talents and expertise with our school community. Interested potential volunteers should contact the school to discuss service opportunities that would be a good match and rewarding volunteer experience.
