The Kellar School is a therapeutic education program serving students grades 3 through 12 who have been identified as eligible for special education services. The structured, individualized program is designed to meet the needs of students with emotional and/or learning disabilities. These students may also have social, behavioral or health-related issues that significantly interfere with their ability to learn.
The majority of the students are referred and placed by their local school jurisdiction. Eligibility for special education at the private day school level is based upon the student's Individual Education Program (IEP). The Kellar School is licensed by the Virginia Department of Education and is accredited by the Virginia Association of Independent Specialized Education Facilities.
