Old Village School provides education programming for 117 students with special education needs from 14 Western Wayne County school districts. The student population includes children between the ages of three and 14 who have significantly delayed cognitive development and who may also experience motor, communication, physical, sensory and emotional impairments which interfere with their development.
Old Village School’s mission is to “challenge all students to reach their potential in order to participate, as independently as possible, within the home and community, through a dynamic and comprehensive curriculum provided in cooperation with the parents and with the support of the community.”
Old Village School provides three district programs for students who are eligible for special education services as Severely Cognitively Impaired (SCI), Severely Multiply Impaired (SXI) and Dual-Diagnosed (DD). The program is housed at Old Village School on Northville’s Main Street with two satellite classrooms at Hillside Middle School.
Staff includes Supervisor Arthur H. Fischer, Jr., 13 teachers, 15 ancillary staff and 34 para-educators. Bridging home and school is critical at Old Village. Last year, an average of 73 percent of OVS parents participated in student meetings.
