New Road School of Ocean County

The New Road Schools of New Jersey have been providing students with a well rounded education since opening our first school in 1986. Our one-to-one, tutorial-based classroom model promotes a unique relationship between the student and the teacher, one built on trust, with the appropriate balance between empathy and accountability. This highly individualized instructional model and a values-driven rewards system combine to create an environment in which even the smallest academic successes become the most powerful reinforcement for building student confidence and competence.

The New Road School of Ocean County opened in December 1998 in the town of Toms River. We recently moved to our new facility in Lakewood, where we serve students aged 5 to 21 who are experiencing any of the following: learning disabilities, social or emotional disabilities, behavioral disabilities, and/or combinations of the above.

As a private school approved by the New Jersey Department of Education, the New Road School of Ocean County's program adheres to the state's CCCS (Core Curriculum Content Standards) regarding implementation of IEP goals and objectives for students with disabilities.

We design our programs to focus on the specific learning strengths and needs of each child. Because we individualize our programs, we're able to meet each student at whatever level he or she performs. Small classes, personal attention, and a positive learning experience are the hallmarks of the New Road School.

As the student builds on classroom successes, those achievements lead to a healthier self-esteem. Our students feel good about themselves. They develop confidence in their abilities as students and as individuals.
