"My son, Mike Jr., had difficulties in his early years and spent his high school years at an alternative or special education school.
It was a wonderful experience.
Garfield Park Academy in Willingboro, N.J. provided the necessary nurturing and opportunities for growth, which
made Mike a young man ready to take on the world.
Whoever heard of a social worker in each classroom in addition to a certified special education teacher, a classroom facilitator and a classroom aide? With a maximum of 12 students in each class, it is no wonder the students have the support they need to succeed.
Would you believe this school also offer six state-of-the-art vocational programs?
This letter is intended to let everyone know what a gem we have in Willingboro.
At graduation, it was announced that out of 2o graduates, three are going to culinary school, four to Burlington County College, three to Camden County College, two to Mercer Community College, one to Jobs Corps, two into the Navy and one to a business school.
Wow! What a testimony to the school that attend. The whole community should be proud."
