It is not unusual for a visitor to Cardinal Cushing School to comment on how happy our students seem to be. Guests are always greeted with a smiling face and a warm hello. A visitor entering our campus is engulfed in a caring community where each individual is accepted for who they are as they are supported in their quest to become who they want to be.
Our mission at Cardinal Cushing School is to provide a caring environment where students acquire skills for successful lives. Cardinal Cushing School includes two programs, a 365-day residential program and a 216-day day school program for students between the ages of 6 and 22 years old with mild to severe intellectual challenges as well as behavioral, emotional and physical challenges.
Cardinal Cushing School is committed to working closely with local school districts and state agencies to offer innovative and individualized opportunities for our students to become active and contributing members of their communities.
The school provides students with exceptional academics, an outstanding vocational program, and high quality residential options. In addition to these programs, we offer many clinical and therapeutic services including Counseling, Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy. Additionally, all of our students have access to a wide range of recreational activities, sports teams, and Special Olympics activities. Our outdoor pool and recreation center are gathering places for our students throughout the year.

Over its more than 60 year history, Cardinal Cushing School has become an integral part of Hanover and the
Shore Shore Community of Massachusetts. The residents of Hanover
and the surrounding towns have been very supportive of our programs.
They participate in events at the school, shop in the vocational program's Retail
Center Shops, and welcome students as members of the community.
Our students work in local businesses, shop in area stores,
and participate in community and recreational activities throughout the area.
Cardinal Cushing School doesn't stand still. Our programs are constantly evolving to better meet the needs of the individuals we serve. In the coming year we will be implementing a new behavior management system based in Postive Behavioral Intervention Supports with a greater emphasis on positively reinforcing positive skills while reducing or eliminating problematic behaviors that impede a students progress. This is just one of the innovations we are looking forward to in the coming year!
