The Bancroft School
Every child deserves an education and support services that inspire their interests, unlock their potential and prepare them for the real world. It is our commitment to making this possible that drives the leadership and staff at Bancroft to provide robust outcome-centered programs, individualized to meet the distinct needs of each child.
Working with children from birth through age 21, Bancroft partners with school districts and state agencies to address the unique needs and supports required for each student including special education, integrated therapies, communication strategies and devices, and residential programs.
