Since 1970, the Campus School at Boston College has educated students ages 3 to 22 with extensive support needs, including complex medical needs. Part of the Lynch School of Education and Human Development, our private, publicly funded special education day school is located on the main campus of Boston College. The Campus School is grounded in a transdisciplinary approach, led by a team of dedicated educators, therapists, and nurses. Each year, we are joined by hundreds of caring Boston College undergraduate volunteers and Division I athletes, as we all work together to realize the potential of each one of our extraordinary students.
