Watch the video below to meet some of our students and learn how our PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) model supports their success!
History: Among the first schools of its kind
At its founding in 1961, 91¾«Ñ¡ was among very few schools in the Greater Philadelphia area designed exclusively for children with special education needs by merging clinical and behavioral services with education. Since then, 91¾«Ñ¡ has increased enrollment and staff who support the students, developed a vibrant learning environment on a 12-acre campus in Montgomery County, and solidified its reputation as a leader in innovative, high-quality programs and services.
