Day Program
Each of the League School’s five day school programs are designed to teach social, academic, behavioral and community-life skills based on a student’s age and ability. Program descriptions are below:
Foundations
This structured program, which accepts students aged 3-12 at all levels, is oriented toward their making progress, gaining flexibility and building a foundation for the future.
Students are grouped by age and ability, which ranges from pre-readiness to their appropriate grade level.
The program addresses the major educational content areas, in addition to developing students’ communications, social, daily living, recreational and fine motor skills.
Students also receive individualized sensory integration programs and behavior support 
plans.
Those who can read to learn progress to our academically oriented programs, Content Area Teaching or Pathfinder. Others transition to our pre-vocational and functional academics program, Community and Life Skills Development.

Content Area Teaching
This program is designed for students aged 11-16 who perform on the higher end of the spectrum and can read to learn.
Academics range from elementary to middle school, depending upon the student population, and are complemented by in-school vocational training as well as gaining leisure and recreational skills.
Social pragmatics, occupational therapy and executive function training are also key components of the program.

Pathfinder
For students aged 12-22 with Asperger’s syndrome and high-functioning autism, Pathfinder integrates social pragmatics with a modified middle school and high school curriculum. Most students are working at or just below grade level, and many have passed the MCAS for their grade level.
The program is designed to help students achieve their academic potential while gaining the social skills they need to interact appropriately and make meaningful friendships.
The program also introduces students to using a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) to help gain more self-control and confidence so they can lead more independent and productive lives.

Community and Life Skills Development
This program is designed for students aged 11-16 who have more limited verbal abilities, focusing on communication skills, self-care and daily living skills, in-school vocational training and functional academics.
Students work on a range of skills from name recognition and identifying money to answering comprehension questions and discussing current events.
Frequent community trips offer important living skill lessons such as using a shopping list, ordering food in a restaurant and 
going to the post office.

Transition
This program prepares students aged 16-22 for long-term, community-based employment as they transition into the community.
It focuses on functional academics; social, communication and daily living skills; on- and off-site vocational training; and appropriate use of leisure time.
Academics are individualized for each student’s abilities.
