About Us
Emerald Green has a passion for ensuring that all students able to meet their full potential regardless of educational barriers presented to them.
The current mainstream educational model does not fit many young people and they require something more bespoke and a personalised, child-centred approach to maximise their learning.
Emerald Green have experience of working with students who find a classroom or school environment too overstimulating, through to students who are non or pre verbal and require full support in all areas of their life.
All young people deserve to feel achievement and satisfaction within their life and Emerald Green strive for the person centred approach to work with them and their families to make this a reality.
