Kids know they're in a safe place at TJS because we don't penalize students for what they don't know or what they can't do. Instead, we celebrate what they learn to do and the progress they make.

Teachers at TJS have time to prep you for when you mainstream to a new school. They don’t rush you. You’re learning a lot of the same things other schools teach, but in a better way – a way that makes sense for you. There is still homework, but the teachers know your ability, so it goes smoother.

In addition to boosting my confidence, The Joy School taught me it is okay to be different. It is okay to acknowledge my disabilities while I work on managing them. TJS is different from other schools.

After Alex's first year at TJS, I really saw a difference. She was making friends, and she even seemed excited to go to school. It wasn't, "I don't want to go," anymore.

I learned how to do minus math problems at TJS. When I was in kindergarten, I didn’t really know how to do 18 minus a number equals a number. We only did plus. Now I can do minus too.

No matter what vocational path our grandson chooses, we are convinced he will be successful and that his success will in no small part be attributable to his years at TJS. As grandparents, we are profoundly grateful he found his way to The Joy School.

My son needed to be somewhere that understood not all kids learn the same way. Somewhere that understood the value of teaching to the child, not teaching to the test. That's why we sought out The Joy School.
