Springdale Education Center is an approved private school by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. Springdale Education Center provides a range of educational, clinical, psycho-educational, behavioral and outreach services for youth ages 5-22 who are challenged with serious mental health issues and have engaged in aggressive behaviors and have provided a significant challenge to caregivers.

Springdale Education Center's Executive Director, John Foley, and Founder/Director, Patti Cutler, believe that all children, regardless of circumstances deserve unconditional regard, and will flourish when they are provided with the resources that they need. SEC's dedicated and talented staff, under the tutelage of site coordinator Eddie Garcia, Case Management Supervisor Laura Nash and Clinical Supervisor, Mary Bianco provide an environment that is safe, supportive and
welcoming.

We are proud of the accomplishments of our students as well as the endless compassion of our staff.
