See What Life Is Like at a School for Students with Social Communication Disorders
Epiphany is more than a school for social communication disorders — it’s a feeling of belonging. Your child can be themselves at Epiphany without fear of judgment. They can share special interests with peers and nurture friendships that transcend the classroom. They can grow in ways the world never thought possible.
To see it for yourself, we suggest all families schedule a tour before applying for admission. A tour helps parents and children decide if Epiphany is a good fit.
Call us to schedule a tour at (704) 496-9942.
