Welcome to High Point School
I am so pleased to introduce you to High Point School. Founded in 1960, we are proud of our history and the thousands of students we have supported over the years. High Point is located in the residential neighborhood of beautiful Morganville, New Jersey. Conveniently located, our expansive campus is equipped with modern learning spaces and socialization areas, a playground, peace garden, and an outdoor swimming pool. We provide a NJ Department of Education approved curriculum for students ages 5-21, and grades K-12, from school districts throughout central New Jersey. Our therapeutic support is comprised of onsite clinicians including: physicians, psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, case managers and speech & occupational therapists.
Our students thrive in High Point’s non-traditional school setting, where they are given specialized supports, and unique opportunities to grow and discover their own potential. Students admitted to High Point School attend with a wide range of specialized needs including depression, anxiety, behavioral and emotional disorders, as well as symptoms such as school refusal, adjustment difficulties, and low motivation. Often the students are working towards improving their socialization, mood, and attention skills, while building academic competence in their grade level.
At CPC’s High Point School, the philosophy is to surround each child with a caring and skilled safety-net of support—it’s an approach where each child has a team of professionals who embrace their journey, every step of the way—academically, socially, psychologically, and in terms of their physical needs. The integrated approach offers individualized academics, evidence-based positive behavior supports, medication management, individual and group therapy, and comprehensive clinical programming. With this integrated approach, our team collaborates and meets regularly to discuss the student’s progress which makes all the difference in setting the stage for their growth and progress. These are just some of the distinguishing features of our highly personalized High Point School experience.
We would be pleased to discuss if High Point School might be a fit for your child; please email Caitlin Corradino, Intake Coordinator: ccorradino@cpcbhc.org, and she will coordinate a day that works for your schedule. Please know that formal referrals are made through your child’s school and the Child Study Team—we welcome them to visit as well. We look forward to meeting you!
