Department
of Education Approved Special Education services for Middle and High School
students; Upward Bound and college preparation services; and out-of-school youth
educational and employment services.
In our Special Education Middle and High School
setting, students with emotional, behavioral, and learning difficulties participate
in a continuum of services that promote individual success. These services
are available at two distinct campuses; the Mary Elizabeth McGrath Educational
Center in Millbury, MA, and the Kathleen Burns Preparatory School in Worcester,
MA. Each campus offers individualized support through a low student-teacher
ratio, assessment, academic instruction, therapeutic milieu, and a behavior
management program.
The Bruce Wells Upward Bound Program is designed for low-income, first-generation
college bound high school students. We offer an academic enrichment program,
individualized support and information services regarding applying for academic
assistance, college tours, and SAT preparation. Services are available to High
School youth at six Worcester High Schools.
The Education for Employment Program offers assistance
to out of school youth ages, 16-21, who wish to obtain a GED, re-enter the
world of work, pursue post-secondary education, and enhance their employment
skills. These services are provided at 4 locations throughout Central Massachusetts:
Uxbridge, Southbridge, Webster and Worcester.
