Is the Institute for Collegiate and Career Studies Right for Me?
The Institute serves students with low to below average cognitive ability and complex learning disabilities such as expressive and receptive language disorders, ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, executive functioning, auditory processing disorder and other attention-based learning differences. The program is coeducational and accepts young adults ages 18-21. The Institute is affiliated with Maplebrook School.
Through individualized planning, faculty use a variety of technological methods to emphasize multi-sensory teaching, whereby the student will be assisted in reaching his/her academic potential. Students must have a minimum IQ of 70 and be willing to make a commitment to their academic and vocational work in spite of learning differences. The Institute is not a therapeutic program and is not equipped to work with students who have a primary emotional or social diagnosis.
Students are interviewed throughout the year. Since vacancies are limited, parents are encouraged to begin the process as early as possible by sending completed admissions materials for review. Late enrollment is permitted if vacancies exist, due to a rolling admission policy. Early application for September is highly recommended. |

"This is our daughter’s 3rd year at The Institute and we’re so pleased with her independence, maturity, and overall growth. We looked at many schools before choosing The Institute. This school seemed more dedicated to the end result of independence and job skills after graduation."
