OUR MISSION
When it comes to the students we serve, we set our sights on one priority above all others: the potential we see in them. Within a comprehensive education system designed to nurture student strengths, target student deficits, and deliver holistic social-emotional instruction, we teach them to champion themselves and their capabilities. All of our efforts throughout the school day are inspired by our dedication to lead our students to discovering their best selves en route to a future filled with promise and possibility.
When it comes to our school as a whole, we strive to create a collaborative and therapeutic learning environment in which the best elements of traditional public school settings are combined with the personalized attention and continual support that students with special needs require. Our academic, behavioral, clinical, and transitional services are fully integrated into the curriculum so that students are learning and growing in all domains throughout the day.
Integration into our surrounding community is equally important to Ocean State Academy. In our quest to become a solid member of the local community that is actively involved in the daily life of our neighborhood and state, we work closely with area school districts and the Rhode Island Department of Education to ensure that we are providing the requested services in a manner that is fully compliant and continually improving. Our paramount organizational aim is to be a valued state school with which every community stakeholder is proud to be associated.
