About the community
Throughout the year, Camphill School Aberdeen, a community of around 350 people, provides a full range of services for children and young people aged one to twenty five with additional support needs: residential school placements, day school placements, therapeutic programmes, young adult programmes for 16 to 25 year olds (both day and residential), craft and land workshops, individual therapies, nursery provision, respite, external training and nature nurture activities.
Programmes are set up according to individual needs in partnership with families and local authorities. Our fee structure is both all-inclusive and flexible.
Our approach, which is fundamentally holistic and strength based, is focused on valuing individual potential, respecting differences and promoting positive relationships between people.
