Teachers Aide

Who We Are

At Karafin, our mission is to help every student achieve their maximum potential.

 

The Karafin School was founded in 1958 to serve students with special needs.  In its early years, it expanded rapidly and became well known for its emphasis on an individualized approach and its concern for each student’s specific needs.   

 

Throughout the sixty-five years of its existence, the Karafin School has changed to adapt to technological developments and changing educational standards.  It has maintained a high graduation rate, with most of its students going on to two and four year colleges.

 

Today the Karafin School continues to serve students who have not experienced success in public schools.  The high standards which have distinguished the school from its earliest days are now maintained by an experienced and dedicated staff.
