THE FOUNDATION SCHOOLS
has had the distinct honor and privilege of making a difference in students’ lives for 45 years. Some children need specialized help and services to reach their full potential. Together, we have provided the support, care, and educational interventions needed to make a difference for more than 6,000 students in the last 15 years alone, enabling them to realize a future not otherwise imagined.
Since 1975, The Foundation Schools has helped students in grades K-12 from throughout the Washington metropolitan area conquer their academic, mental health, behavioral,
and social challenges. Coupled with their behavioral health challenges, 80 percent of our students are also economically disadvantaged. Currently, The Foundation Schools serves more than 340 students a year with emotional disabilities and autism. Our students’ successes have been our greatest accomplishment of the past 45 years and we look forward to creating brighter futures for years to come.
