Who We Are
Making a Difference
Mainstream education may not work for everyone. There
are some students who require an altogether different learning environment:
a place where they receive individual tutorials, specialized classes,
and innovative programs geared to their special needs.
For those students, there is Lord Stirling School.
Since 1965, Lord Stirling has met with great success helping New Jersey’s
youth redirect their lives towards positive goals. Located on eleven acres
in Basking Ridge, Lord Stirling is a small, private, non-profit day school
for pre-adolescents and adolescents, ages 7 through 21, who have not succeeded
in mainstream education. The students who enroll in Lord Stirling are
typically experiencing conflict in their interaction with the world –
emotionally, behaviorally and academically. Our highly supervised programs
focus on accountability, helping students to become responsible participants
within their families and communities. Lord Stirling provides a supportive,
therapeutic environment that builds self-esteem and self-confidence, placing
special emphasis on intensive one-on-one psychological counseling.
Lord Stirling School is on the cutting edge of brain-based
education, taking a holistic approach that includes differentiated instruction
and outcome-based measures to develop an appropriate, effective, individualized
program for each student. The human brain has a remarkable capacity to
change, but time is crucial for optimum improvement in the learning process.
Our brain-based educational model facilitates more focused academic interventions
and behavioral treatments for our at-risk students with multiple learning
and behavioral challenges. This approach is consistent with the federal
No Child Left Behind initiative.
