ABOUT US

Student instruction focuses on academics, communication, functional academics, self-management skills, social skills, leisure skills, and adaptive skills.

The school is named after the Madrone tree that grows across the Pacific Northwest. Each Madrone tree grows in a different manner based on its environment. Just as the Madrone tree is unique, each student is a unique individual that benefits from being in an environment that allows them to grow in their own way.
