About The Lionheart School
Our mission is to provide a developmentally appropriate education for children who need a specialized learning environment, therapeutic interventions, supported social interactions, and strategies to accommodate their individual profiles.
The Lionheart Model
We are a developmental, individual-difference, relationship-based philosophy grounded in the DIR® model. We integrate the principles of evidence-based practices. We focus on core challenges: relating, communicating, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Through our model, we support meaningful progress across the lifespan—grounded in relationships that matter. We bring together families, professionals, and communities to create real pathways for growth. Because when we understand the individual, we unlock possibilities.
The Lionheart Story
We see with
our hearts
Our mission is to ensure that every child and young adult has a place where strengths are recognized, needs are understood, and growth happens at a meaningful pace. The community provides a supportive learning environment, specialized therapies, working opportunities, and tools tailored to individual developmental profiles. Each learner is encouraged, celebrated, and guided toward building confidence, forming meaningful connections, and developing the skills needed to function at the highest level of independence.
Who We Serve
Lionheart primarily serves children on the autism spectrum who need support in relating, communicating, abstract and critical thinking, and problem-solving. These children are ready to work in a small-group setting without one-on-one support, and their families are looking for a developmental approach that addresses these core challenges.
