Philips Academy is all about "Real Learning For Real Life". Our program is designed specifically for middle and high school students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The curriculum is a unique combination of academics, job training, and social/life skills. This purposeful education prepares our students for all of the benefits and responsibilities of adulthood.

Bridges, our post-secondary program, supports young adults to achieve independence, like finding a job, riding the bus, and cooking a meal. Students explore volunteering, paid employment, independent living and more to find their path to success.
That after-school conversation that is so normal for neurotypical people is now one of the most rewarding experiences to me. -Tania, Daniel's sister
