The Special Education program supports the Middle Township School District’s Mission.

The Middle Township School Board has a clearly articulated district mission statement incorporating the expectation that all students achieve the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards at all grade levels.  Also, the mission of the Middle Township School district is to provide excellence in education while celebrating the strength of its diversity and upholding the values and traditions of the community in order to produce graduates who possess a love of learning and a sense of responsibility.  This education aims to enable all students to reach their potential and become active, productive members of a dynamic, global society.

We believe in providing a variety of support services to our special needs population.  These programs include:  in-class support (ICS), pull out resource classes, and self-contained programs.  The primary focus of any of all our programs is to provide differentiated instruction to meet the needs of our diverse population.  Our children are placed in the least restrictive environment.
