The EPIC School

Congratulations to our EPIC graduates! 🎓

We are so proud of all you have achieved, and we are cheering you on as you take this next big step into the future! 💙

The memories from our 17th Annual 'Go the Distance' are in! It was inspiring to see our community come together at Overpeck Park to support our learners and families.

We are thrilled to share that we have reached $187,000 in fundraising so far. This support is critical to the specialized programs we provide at EPIC every day. If you’d like to help us close the gap to our $250,000 goal, there is still time to donate—fundraising will remain open until June 15th.

Thank you for your energy, your time, and your belief in our mission.

A heartfelt thank you to our Silver and Pavilion sponsors for supporting Go the Distance for Autism! 💙

Thank you to all the parents who made this week so special for our EPIC School staff! From coffee, tea from The Spice & Tea Exchange of Ridgewood & donuts to a delicious taco bar, Kona Ice, and a thoughtful gift — so much time, thought, and care went into every detail. We are especially grateful to the Staff Appreciation Committee for organizing such a memorable week. We feel the love! ❤️

We're thrilled to announce that EPIC has received a generous grant from UNICO National Foundation Geraldine Lipari Mental Health Fund!
This incredible support will bring new ipads to students helping them communicate, learn, and gain independence.
