Charterhouse School - Edinburg

UMFS’ Charterhouse School is a place where Virginia’s kids with special needs can get out of their comfort zone and start to get out into the world. Our elementary, middle and high school students benefit from a proven curriculum of academic and social skills instruction. As a result, our fully accredited school has a proud history of helping students reach graduation or their goals of returning to public schools.

To ensure children receive the curriculum and individual support they need to succeed, we offer three different programs, each with its own admissions criteria, as well as additional considerations for students in need of significant behavioral support. At Charterhouse School it matters to us that our students acquire skills and opportunities to become self-sufficient and live a good life. Our approach focuses on a student’s individual academic, behavioral, social and emotional needs while addressing the four developmental needs of the Circle of Courage™—belonging, independence, mastery and generosity.

Our school is a safe haven for students where they can learn to tackle their daily challenges in a supportive, unintimidating environment. For the teachers, counselors and administrators at Charterhouse School, passion for our work comes naturally. We’re here for the kids and believe strongly in what we’re doing.
