The Tynan School community has a culturally and academically diverse student population, welcoming general education students, autistic students, and English language learners in our school. We have school based counseling and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for students.  In addition to offering science, physical education, dance and vocal music, we also have City Stage, which is a theater arts program to provide students with additional enrichment activities. We currently use a literature based program and Reading Street for literacy; Writer’s Express for writing; and TERC Investigations for math.  

This year we have a director of operations, a special education student support coordinator, a parent services coordinator, an operations coordinator, and a student coordinator who assist the school and families in a variety of ways.
