Our Mission… Our Promise…
Make progress possible for students with medical and behavioral challenges by fitting our environment, approach, instruction, and care to help them discover their special abilities and potential.
At Marklund Day School, we believe each student should be educated in the least restrictive environment possible. Throughout the school year, we work collaboratively with school districts and parents/guardians to ensure students make progress toward their goals. If appropriate, we discuss transitioning students to their home school, based upon their academic, social, behavioral, functional and medical progress.
