Mission
DEPAUL SCHOOL PROVIDES CHILDREN WITH LISTENING AND SPOKEN LANGUAGE-BASED HOLISTIC EDUCATION, INCLUDING LANGUAGE ACQUISITION, MATHEMATICS, SCIENCE AND SOCIAL STUDIES AS WELL AS ART, MUSIC AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION. THESE PROGRAMS PROVIDE CHILDREN WHO ARE DEAF, AND THOSE WHOSE EDUCATIONAL NEEDS QUALIFY THEM TO ENROLL AT DEPAUL.

DEPAUL'S TEAM OF EDUCATORS WORK COLLABORATIVELY TO EQUIP THESE CHILDREN WITH REQUISITE EDUCATIONAL SKILLS TO PREPARE THEM TO TRANSITION TO THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS. IN ADDITION TO DEPAUL'S HEARING SUPPORT PROGRAM, DEPAUL OFFERS A SPEECH AND INTEGRATED LANGUAGE FOR LITERACY (SAILL) PRESCHOOL FOR CHILDREN WITH TYPICAL HEARING, BUT SEVERE LANGUAGE DELAYS.
