The Community School uses a standards based curriculum which is linked to the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. This curriculum is adapted to meet the diverse needs of each student with a focus on functional academics and geared toward individualized developmental needs. Thematic interdisciplinary units are utilized along with standards based math and reading instructional programs to allow the students to access the general education curriculum while working on skills related to academics, communication, activities of daily living, social/emotional development, self-regulation, adaptive behavior, vocation/pre-vocation and leisure/recreation.

A number of specialized curricula are used to support student learning. Individualized accommodations and modifications are applied based on student need and paired with the extensive use of assistive technology to improve access. Content is modified based on student need and presented utilizing a variety of methodologies to ensure access.
