Monarch has greatly enriched the life of my daughter and in turn the entire family's well being. Having my daughter in a therapeutic school environment every single day has let her grow and become the person she is meant to be. She dreaded going to school when we had her in a public setting and now she absolutely loves going!

The Monarch School has been the best decision we could have made for our now 9 year old. These past 3 years that she has been there have been amazing, the treatment and attention she gets to excel in every aspect of her life, without allowing her limitations to be in the way, is priceless. The love the staff members show, not only to our kids, but to their profession is something you can see from a mile away and that is a reflection to the success of the kids. We are blessed to call The Monarch School my daughter's home away from home.

Our son has been at Monarch for the last nine years, and recently graduated. His time at Monarch has helped him to learn, make friends, advocate for himself and gain confidence that he can do things that are hard for him. Monarch's four core goals are focused on executive functioning, relationship development, self-regulation/self awareness, and academic/professional competence, which really helped our son build a solid foundation for growth as he progressed through each program. During his time, he really enjoyed classes like math, language arts, coding, robotics, culinary, science and art. The support he received from the faculty and coaching team were invaluable. Monarch is a wonderful place to learn!

The Monarch School and Institute is a wonderful establishment that provides a supportive, and safe environment with an individualized curriculum to students that are neurodiverse. My son attended the school for 6 years and absolutely loved it. He has blossomed into a social, energetic and confident young man thanks to the faculty at this school!

They literally saved my teenage boy's life. He entered the school a very unmotivated unhappy young man. He just graduated. He is now excited and eager to learn, cooperative, responsible, highly motivated, more socially adept, and ready for college. I cannot recommend Monarch highly enough.

As someone who has worked my entire career with the special needs population and now a new special needs mom, Monarch is an ideal therapeutic and educational school for those with neurological differences. Students are happy and engaged in learning in a way that's gets them excited and ready to come back the next day. I can't think of a better place I want to send my daughter when the time comes for school placement.

The school has changed significantly in the last several years. The best long term staff have left and it is no longer therapeutic or a strong educational environment. New staff have lower qualifications than the past. They focus on ABA, a behavioral management program that is considered abusive by many. It is rewards and punishment, no authentic intrinsic motivation or learning. The environment is dreary, sad and not a place that someone wants to spend the day. They have can't keep staff and typically hire first year teachers that don't even stick around. The tuition is not reflective of quality. It's behavior managed babysitting. There are better schools.
