(K-12)

The JCFS Therapeutic Day School and Yeshiva provides the best educational, emotional and therapeutic services for students in grades K-12 to encourage their academic, interpersonal and vocational success.

They serve students who are classified in the following special education categories: Specific Learning Disability (SLD), Intellectual Disability, Autism includes autism spectrum disorders), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), and Other Health Impairment (OHI).

They work with Chicago Public Schools and with school districts from the North Shore, Lake County, and the Western Suburbs to receive referrals of students who need an alternative to traditional public schools. Students are educated at Therapeutic Day School at no cost to their families.

Each school day, they welcome a diverse group of 115 students through Their doors, and each child is supported in ways that address his or her specific needs. As they seek to understand the individual student, they also work to employ a team approach: Teachers, social workers, school specialists and, of course, parents are all engaged in promoting a student’s success.

Academically, their curriculum is dynamic and competitive. Therapeutically, their program offers students specialty support, unique resources, opportunities to reintegrate to the student's home schools, and transitional and vocational support. Culturally, their school offers students opportunities to explore their interests through clubs and extracurricular activities.
