Why Parish?
At The Parish School you will discover purposeful and meaningful work that transforms the lives of students and changes the trajectory of their future.

Our staff are the most valuable resource we have in accomplishing our mission to empower children who have communication delays and learning differences to thrive through whole-child education, innovative therapy and access to nature.
I truly look forward to coming to work at The Parish School each day, that I often seem to overlook that it is ‘work’. From my inspiring colleagues, educators, and therapists to our brave, strong, and lovable students, I am constantly learning and given opportunities to grow and advance my professional skillset. I am very humbled and grateful that I am able to be a part of a school community that cultivates my creativity and passion in special education, but more so being on a team in a remarkable school community that is naturally collaborative, encouraging, and welcoming. My heart is here at The Parish School.
