We believe every child has the ability to exceed their possibilities and we are committed to cultivating this potential in all of our students.
The innovative programs at Calais are designed to highlight your child’s abilities while also building upon areas of weakness. The flexibility of our curriculum provides an educational experience that is unique to each student. Cutting-edge counseling methodologies and therapeutic interventions including Animal Assisted Interventions help students establish and attain academic, social, and emotional goals. Our compassionate and highly trained faculty and staff collaborate to provide personalized learning programs and support. Parents and caregivers often comment on the peace of mind they feel knowing their child is safe in a nurturing setting that can meet his or her emotional, behavioral and academic needs.

Animal Assisted Interventions at The Calais School
While some schools utilize dogs as a calming presence, The Calais School’s Animal Assisted Interventions Program was developed to meet the complex and varying needs of children with special needs. Since 2013, The Calais School has been home to a team of dogs and handlers that provide Animal Assisted Interventions (AAI) to help students reach behavioral and therapeutic goals.
