  • Social & Emotional Support

    Three dedicated counselors serve the Preschool, Primary, and Middle Schools. Each holds a Masters Degree and has extensive experience in working with children. These dedicated professionals are there to support students and families with social, emotional and academic needs. They also give support to students as they transition from childhood into adolescence in partnership with the Nursing staff who oversees teaching of Human Development.

  • Learning Support for Neurodiverse Students

    Our Learning Support team is committed to helping all students thrive, including those with diverse learning needs and neurodiverse profiles. A team of three Learning Support Specialists collaborates with students to develop strategies that foster success both inside and outside the classroom.

    Our Literacy Specialist focuses on supporting students in the lower Primary grades, while two Learning Support Specialists work with students in grades K–8. They partner with teachers, counselors, and the leadership team to create inclusive learning environments, implement individualized strategies, and provide the necessary support for students with learning differences or those who need additional assistance.

  • Sensory Integration & Self-Regulation

    Our Primary Head of School is a trained Instructional Coach who supports teachers in the implementation of sensory-friendly classroom enhancements, ongoing SEL training, and the practice of self-reg or self regulation. You'll see students of all ages using a wide variety of desks, seating, fidget gadgets, and even headphones to individualize their classroom experience.

    Self-Reg is designed as "a pathway to enhancing resilience, motivation, learning, & well-being." Using the 5 step method developed by Stewart Shanker and the Mehrit Center, Magellan faculty and staff learn how to read, reframe, and respond to behavior, strong emotions, dysregulation, and much more.
