Students are referred to Green Brook Academy by the Department of Special Services or Child Study Teams in their home school district.
Referral Submission:
The home district submits the student’s evaluations, Individualized Education Program (IEP), and other pertinent documentation to our administrative and intake team.
Record Review:
Our team carefully reviews the student’s records to determine whether our therapeutic academic program is an appropriate fit.
Personal Interview:
If the student appears to be a match for our program, we will schedule a personal intake interview with the student and their parent or guardian.
This process ensures that every student placed with us receives the individualized support they need to succeed in both academic and emotional growth.
At Green Brook Academy, students achieve success through a range of specialized services and educational opportunities, including:
✅ Individualized Instruction
Tailored to each student’s unique needs, strengths, abilities, and interests, supporting both academic and personal growth.
✅ Small Class Sizes
Promoting personalized attention and meaningful engagement.
✅ Highly Qualified Staff
All classrooms are led by New Jersey Department of Education–Certified Teachers and supported by skilled paraprofessionals who specialize in working with students with emotional and behavioral needs.
Together, these components create a nurturing, structured, and effective learning environment where students can thrive.
At Green Brook Academy, we believe that students facing significant emotional challenges require more than a traditional academic program. They need a highly individualized educational experience that integrates academic instruction with consistent therapeutic support.
We view counseling not as a separate service, but as an essential and embedded component of the entire school experience. Our goal is to foster both academic progress and emotional growth—helping students develop the skills and resilience needed to succeed in school and beyond.
At Green Brook Academy, our unique program is therapeutically driven to give each student the opportunity to experience real academic success—in a setting that understands and supports their emotional and behavioral needs.
Whether you are a parent seeking an alternative educational option for your child or a Child Study Team member looking for the right placement for a student in your district, we invite you to consider us.
We offer a highly structured and supportive academic program designed specifically for students in grades 6–12 with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) who face challenges related to emotional regulation, behavior, and trauma.
At Green Brook Academy, we do more than educate—we commit to going above and beyond to ensure that every student receives the tools, guidance, and compassion they need to build a path toward long-term success.
💚 We believe in every student’s potential—and we help them reach it.
