The Lower School includes children with diagnosed learning differences, kindergarten through grade 6. Classes include 8-10 students who are placed in self-contained environments according to age, socialization and academic ability. Teaching techniques are adapted for each child's individual learning style and pace.

The Middle and Upper School is a structured Academic program combining remedial and grade level content for students with diagnosed learning differences, grades 7-12. Teachers employ direct instruction within classes of 8-12 students to remediate skills in academic deficit areas, develop compensatory strategies to accommodate personal learning needs and promote self-advocacy skills to ensure that those needs are met. Each student is offered an array of electives and activities such as student council, drama, business skills, art, yearbook and athletics. At Briarwood, 85% of our graduates attend schools of higher learning.

The Tuttle (Special) School includes 65 students, ages 5 to 21, who are developmentally delayed. The curriculum is designed to strengthen functional, academic, motor and living skills, as well as provide pre-vocational and vocational experiences through community based instruction. Students participate in music, art, sports, and expressive language while working intermittently with computers. Classes include eight students, a teacher, and a teacher's aide.
