Newmark K-8 School and Newmark High School are state-approved, private, not-for-profit schools that meet the needs of children with autism spectrum disorders, mood and anxiety disorders, attention issues and other developmental disabilities.
Newmark Education provides a nurturing, highly structured educational environment to help students become independent, productive adults. “We’re committed to the academic and personal success of students living with behavioral disorders and disabilities,” says Cynthia Allman, co-executive director and cofounder along with Dr. Regina M. Peter. “The foundation of every student’s achievement is an individually-tailored curriculum that infuses coursework with technology and social skills.”
Newmark provides academic and mental health services that set students on the path to succeed both academically and socially. Academics are enhanced by developing pro-social student behaviors and teaching responsible decision-making in a sensitive, compassionate and nurturing environment. “The Newmark family comes together to educate and encourage the best parts of who our students are as human beings,” Dr. Peter says.
The school builds community with events like family fun days and school spirit week, community service opportunities and quarterly student socials. The high school athletic program includes soccer, winter and spring track, bowling and cross country, and students at both schools can participate in extracurricular clubs ranging from computer science and coding to BBQ Cooking and LEGO Challenge.
“Many parents express how grateful they are for our school and tell us that Newmark has truly changed their child’s life,” Allman says.
