Devereux Pennsylvania Children’s Services’ Devereux Day Academies offer high quality, innovative special education programming for students with emotional, behavioral and cognitive differences who require a higher level of care than may be provided in their local schools. Our core curriculum is aligned with the Pennsylvania Core Standards, as well as the curricula of Devereux Pennsylvania Children’s Services’ partner school districts. This alignment facilitates smooth transitions for students to and from the day programs, and their local schools.

Each student enrolled in our Day Academies has an Individualized Education Program (IEP), outlining their goals for skill development and strategies for achieving those goals. We work closely with families and school districts to ensure students can return to their local schools and communities with the tools they need to succeed.
