Green Chimneys School is designed for students who have been unsuccessful in a traditional educational program and who require a small, structured and therapeutically supportive setting. Small class sizes, high staff-to-student ratio, well-trained clinicians and educators, and a safe, therapeutic environment are just a few things that make Green Chimneys School the right choice for so many students with special needs.
Decades of experience in educating children in a nature-based environment and involving them in the care of animals and nature, have built the foundation for a therapeutic approach with lasting impacts. Green Chimneys’ program is based in the belief that if children are given a chance to explore and discover their inherent strengths in a safe and structured environment, their self-esteem, compassion, coping and social skills will improve.
These Katahdin sheep twins were orphaned at birth and came to Green Chimneys during the chilliest part of winter. The children and farm staff carefully nurtured the babies following a strict schedule of bottle feeding, even into the night. Measuring formula to feed baby lambs helps teach children math and measurements, and is very important because baby lambs can get very sick if they are fed too much. The pair grew healthy and strong and is very popular with the children.
