Students come from primarily the Greater Boston Area, however their are students from across the United States as well as from other countries. Currently students range in age from 6-22. The School follows the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks and each student has an Individualized Educational Plan. The school is a one of kind institution in the U.S. where it incorporates a unique educational philosophy, Daily Life Therapy - a holistic approach to promoting healthy growth of the child, based on three tenets; Vigorous Physical Exercise, Emotional Stability and Intellectual Stimulation. Parents and sibling are an integral part of the child's education.
About This Cause
The mission of the Boston Higashi School is to help children and young adults with autism learn to reach their full potential through the application of the methodology of Daily Life Therapy. This unique educational philosophy developed by the late Dr. Kiyo Kitahara of Tokyo, Japan incorporates a broad and balanced curriculum inlcluding academics, art. music, physical education, computer technology and social education. Students take on challenges, learn to overcome obstacles and gain confidence from their own success. This process allows our students to develop a love for learning so they may fully enjoy their family, community, and all that life has to offer. As each student grows and learns, their personality and individual character matures allowing them to benefit from and most importantly contribute to society as adults.
