Mission Statement
Green Tree School is a state-approved, private school serving up to 175 students with serious emotional distrubance who are between the ages of six and twenty-one. The Green Tree programs focus on improving a student's ability to interact appropriately with peers and adults and to learn within a school setting. Here, students learn the academic, vocational, and life skills they will need to succeed in school and in the outside world. We also offer an early intervention program for children ages three to five who have special needs.
Description
Green Tree School is the oldest school of its kind in Philadelphia. It was founded in 1957 as a nonprofit private school to educate children with emotional distrubances who were often excluded from public school programs.
