Education
The Lt. Joseph P. Kennedy, (est. 1949) having a low student/teacher ratio, in a self-contained campus with exceptional and credentialed teachers, aides, and medical oversight where needed, has a robust curriculum focused on student development toward independence, productivity and societal participation in a most normal and least restrictive environment.
Vocational
Moving toward becoming self-sufficient through the responsibility and benefit of work, St. Coletta’s clients are mentored by business savvy staff that provides supervision and assistance tailored to the ability of each person’s success. A substantial bridge in this endeavor is St. Coletta’s corporate partners. Jobbing out product package assembly, sealing, sorting, shrink wrapping, and similar tasks helps them meet deadlines and reduce costs while providing on-the-job-training to prospective future employees.
