The Phoenix Center

Directions Website

The Phoenix Center Accredited private, special needs school providing customized programs built around the whole child.

The Phoenix Center is an accredited, not-for-profit school serving the educational, behavioral and therapeutic needs of students ages 5-21 with autism, multiple disabilities, behavioral and intellectual disabilities. Our customized evidence-based programs—developed for each student—are anchored by a hands-on, real-life, community-based instruction model. Our accredited classroom and community-based instructional programs are built around the “whole child.” Our NJ Dept. of Education-approved school works closely with districts, professionals, and parents to develop programs (communication, behavioral and social) tailored to meet the specific academic and functional needs of each child. Our teachers and related service providers are highly qualified, certified and/or licensed. We employ a range of educational and therapeutic methods to meet each child at his/her particular stage of development and help students prepare for life beyond The Phoenix Center, which is at the core of our mission. By pulling from each child’s innate gifts, we help them rise, like the ancient phoenix, above their challenges to build confidence and achieve greater fulfillment and success in the world.

We're back in the news, Phoenix friends and families! Big shoutout to the Speech and OT/PT departments for working together to help our students not only shine, but also prepare for life beyond the classroom! We loved having News12's Jennifer Portorreal come by to see the amazing Brew Crew in action, and to tell their story! 🥤🥤🥤

The program began last year after staff noticed one student's strong interest in iced coffee.
