Giving Tree Legacy Circle

Giving Tree Legacy Circle

North Florida School of Special Education began with four families who dreamed of a full future for their children with intellectual and developmental differences (IDD). In 1992, when no suitable education opportunities existed, they created one- North Florida School of Special Education.

Since inception, North Florida School of Special Education has graduated hundreds of students and expanded to include an 8-acre campus in the heart of Arlington. The school has been recognized as the gold standard for supporting young people with IDD as they become the best version of themselves in an engaged community. Students are guided by individualized education plans, a multitude of onsite therapies as well as independent living and vocational training programs.

We invite you to join us in ensuring this incredible resource for our community and students- past, present, and future- regardless of their ability to pay. As you learn more about our mission and students, we hope you will be inspired to become a part of the Giving Tree Legacy Circle.
