Philips Academy is all about "Real Learning For Real Life". Our program is designed specifically for middle and high school students with complex language, learning, and/or cognitive disabilities. We believe that a purposeful education prepares them for all of the benefits and responsibilities of adulthood. The post-secondary program, Bridges, supports young adults to achieve independence, like finding a job, riding the bus, and cooking a meal. Students explore volunteering, paid employment, friendships, independent living and more to find their path to success. We think the whole world could learn from Philips Academy about overcoming obstacles...creating a hopeful way forward...standing on your own two feet as well as the necessity of a strong support system...the happiness of having a friend and the satisfaction of a job well done.
