Photo of a student learning brailleIn 1999 the Lavelle School’s charter was revised to reflect more accurately its current purpose. The mission is to educate students who are legally blind and those who are legally blind and have other disabilities. Each student’s unique skills and attributes are reflected in the daily school activities.

Through an emphasis on functional academics, independence in all life skills, and development of a positive self-image, students are prepared to participate in all aspects of community life. Essential support and training for families is integral to the Lavelle School program.

All students attend Lavelle School for the Blind on a day basis returning to their homes and neighborhoods at the end of each school day.
