The highly certified staff of licensed professionals that embody our Counseling Team are always available to support students and guide them toward thoughtful decisions about their behavior, academic, social and emotional choices.Our innovative programs are designed to highlight each students'abilities while also building upon areas of weakness. The Calais School is also home to a team of dogs and handlers that provide Animal Assisted Interventions (AAI) developed specifically for students with special needs.Students are referred to The Calais School by school districts, health professionals, and concerned parents throughout northern New Jersey. We offer the only program for gifted and talented students with special needs in our Twice Exceptional Program, which has been recognized by the New Jersey School Boards Association (NJSBA) as one of the 10 best programs in the state.
