About Brentwood

Brentwood Academy is a therapeutic high school special education program located in Nashua, NH that serves students from Nashua and neighboring school districts.

Key aspects of our program include:

• Strengths-based approaches to learning and emotional regulation
• Building strong relationships between staff and peers
• Small class sizes, typically 4-6 students per class
