Nestled in the serene foothills of the Berkshire Mountains in Amenia, New York, Maplebrook School is a co-educational boarding and day school dedicated to empowering students who learn differently. Since its founding in 1945, Maplebrook has been a trusted educational community where students with diverse learning profiles gain the confidence, knowledge, and independence needed to thrive in academics and in life. Our Mission At Maplebrook School, our mission is to create a nurturing environment that celebrates individuality and helps each student reach their full potential—academically, socially, vocationally, and emotionally. We specialize in teaching students with learning differences, ADHD, mild autism spectrum disorder, and executive functioning challenges through individualized attention and a balanced approach that builds both skills and self-esteem. Our Approach Personalized Learning: With small class sizes and a low student-to-teacher ratio, each student receives the personal attention, structure, and encouragement they need to succeed. Comprehensive Support: In addition to strong academics, students benefit from counseling, life-coaching, speech and language therapy, and other supportive services to ensure holistic development. Residential Community: Over 90% of faculty and staff live on campus, fostering a safe and caring environment that feels like home while promoting independence and community responsibility. Life Skills & Independence: Our curriculum extends beyond the classroom, focusing on real-world skills, communication, and self-advocacy to prepare students for a confident transition into adult life. Commitment to Excellence: Maplebrook’s long-standing reputation for academic and personal growth is built on a foundation of compassion, innovation, and measurable success. Campus & Community Life Set on a picturesque campus approximately 90 miles north of New York City, Maplebrook School offers an engaging environment filled with academic, athletic, and creative opportunities. Students participate in structured daily routines, weekend activities, community events, and extracurricular programs designed to promote teamwork, leadership, and social growth.

Vision for the Future Maplebrook School envisions a world where every student—regardless of learning style—has access to quality education, personal growth opportunities, and a community that believes in their potential.
