Helping Children Enjoy Life & Learning
Rock Brook School has always been a well kept secret, because unless you need our services there is no reason to know about us. If you have a child or student who is communication impaired or who has multiple disabilities we may be the answer you have been looking for.
We have been in existence for over three decades and have helped over 1,000 children master the academic and social skills necessary to feel good about themselves. Some of our students return to public schools while others continue in out of district educational settings.
We currently have students from over 25 school districts, and in most cases, your school district will pay for the tuition.
