The Hallen School was founded to provide an alternative educational setting to address the chalanges students with disabilities face in school and in their community.

The Hallen School is a New York State Education Department approved and funded private school (special education school) for students ranging from 5 to 21 years of age. Specially designed instructional programming is aligned to meet the needs of students diagnosed on the autism spectrum, with speech and language impairments, significant learning disabilities and other health impairments, including emotional difficulties. Students are able to graduate from the Hallen School with a Regents diploma or an IEP diploma – based on their individual goals.
