For students ages 5 through 12 experiencing emotional or behavioral disorders, High Point Elementary School provides a comprehensive educational and therapeutic program. Every staff member treats each child with respect and dignity, recognizing the individuality of every student we serve. Teachers, parents and members of the student's sending child study team work together to establish an Individual Education Plan (IEP) for each student. Academic content is based on the New Jersey Core Curriculum Standards and focuses on reading, mathematics and language arts. Social studies and science are taught also, and a variety of enrichment classes fill out the schedule and include:
The primary focus in the classroom is the teaching of Reading, Mathematics and Language Arts, which are taught in small groups. If a student has a specific learning need, the classroom teacher selects a program designed to meet that need.

An Enrichment Program which fosters higher-level thinking skills as well as creative thinking is scheduled weekly for all classes.
