My son has attended the Monarch School for five years and is graduating this year. This school has given him a sense of community, a better understanding of how to interact with peers and adults, and so much happiness. Before the Monarch School we worried about his lack of social skills and confidence - but now, because of the skills he has gained, he has opportunities and we have hope. We moved from NY for the school, and although I was scared, overwhelmed and worried, I know we made the right choice. I am so glad he has had the opportunity to be amongst such a wonderful, caring, and knowledgeable group of professional (and people with the biggest hearts I have ever met)!
