The Spire School was founded in 2010 by Greenwich Education and Prep. The private day school is designed to help students, grades 8-12, develop resilience, responsibility and self-efficacy. The school's curriculum emphasizes wellness and personal growth for students who struggle with depression, anxiety, and other emotional challenges.
Executive Director, Frank Bartolomeo, Ph.D., has over 20 years experience in the child and adolescent mental health field. He has worked in residential treatment centers, schools, outpatient clinics, and hospitals in the Boston area. He has served as Co-Chair of the Children's Group Therapy Association in Boston. He has also worked for the Academy at Swift River as Executive Director. Greenwich Education and Prep schools are accredited by Middle States as K-12 Supplementary Education Centers.
Students of The Spire School are intellectually capable individuals who simply require additional direction or assistance to achieve their full academic potential. The academic program for each student is individualized and allows for students to address issues about their academic ability and potential scholastic achievement. The curriculum is based on a metacognitive approach and emphasizes exercise, nutrition, self-care, communication skills, listening, empathy, and conflict resolution.
The Spire School puts great emphasis on parental involvement in their child's academic progress and success. The staff of the program collaborates with family members and other professionals to best address the needs of the individual student.
