Education - The NHS Schools are licensed private academic schools that combine behavioral expertise and educational services for children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders and students with emotional support needs in grades K-12 (ages 5-21). NHS believes that merging behavioral expertise with a comprehensive educational program creates a stable, nurturing environment that provides students with confidence and skills to reach their fullest potential. The first NHS School opened in 2005. Since 2005, NHS has opened 17 schools and serve 350 students in 107 different school districts, and 39 counties across Pennsylvania.

The goal of the NHS Schools is to provide academic instruction while increasing each child's environmental engagement with a focus on the development of social skills, life skills and pro-social behaviors. A student's success is demonstrated and measured through personal growth and learning, development of peer relationships, and participation in their environment and community activities. The academic curriculum is determined by the student's IEP goals, home school district and academic assessments. Ancillary services such as Speech and Occupational Therapy are available through the NHS School as identified in the student's IEP.

The NHS Schools believe in preparing students for life after school. Therefore, the NHS Transition Program starts the minute the students enroll. Teachers develop transition lessons for students ages 5-21 to assist in building the skills necessary to advocate for their needs and achieve individualized goals in the following areas: post-secondary education, job/career placements, independent living and community involvement. Students are given the opportunity to further develop their skills through transition opportunities such as career exploration field trips, job shadowing, lessons at our Skill Development Centers, on-site simulated work environments and community job placements.
