Family Education Program
All new students and their families are invited to New Family Orientation. It gives the families the opportunity to meet the school and cottage staff that will work with their students and to meet other new families. This is offered once a year right before the fall semester begins.
Classes are available for parents and siblings of deaf children from infant to high-school age at no cost.

What is a tour like?
Each tour is different, depending on the age of the child and the interests of the family.
As part of the tour, the family has the opportunity to meet with some of the teachers, see various programs, eat lunch in the school cafeteria, and visit the cottages to get an idea of what student life facilities are like at CSD. The tour provides a wonderful opportunity for the family to ask any questions they might have about the school.
