John Paul II Center for Special Learning Providing quality individualized education for children and adults with special needs.

John Paul II Center is the only Catholic school in Berks County that provides a comprehensive educational program for children and adults (ages 3-21) with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our Adult Program was established to provide personalized assistance to adults (ages 21+) with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This diverse day program focuses on maintaining and developing social and self-help skills. We are open to individuals of all faiths and religious beliefs, and have traditionally served Catholics and non-Catholics in equal numbers. We educate the whole child academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.
