Penns Grove–Carneys Point Regional School District provides a wide variety of special education programs for students in grades Pre-K thru 12th grade, who require specialized instruction and/ or related services such as speech/language services, occupational therapy, and physical therapy in order to meet their educational needs. Some of our educational program options include: instruction in a general education classroom with necessary and appropriate supports, supplemental instruction, resource center programs, in-class resource programming, and self- contained placements.

Penns Grove- Carneys Point’s Child Study Team provides a school based mechanism to enable school personnel to meet the needs of individual children within the school who are having difficulty in the educational setting. Our team is child-centered and facilitates a process that results in the implementation of modifications, accommodations, services, and interventions that will enable the child to be successful in school. The options to be considered exist along a continuum of support, ranging from mild accommodations to intensive interventions.
