New England Academy

New South Shore Campus

For nearly two decades New England Academy has provided an academic experience that challenges students, while engaging in a safe therapeutic environment that supports their social and emotional needs.

Over the years we have come to realize that the need to help bright students with social and emotional disabilities reach their full potential goes far beyond our North Shore campus. In order to reach more students, we are proud to be opening a brand new 30,000 square foot campus south of Boston, in the Town of Marshfield.

The facility will open in August of 2023, for the 2023-2024 school year. We have already begun to hear from school districts, educators, students and their families who want to learn more about what we do and better understand whether NEA is right for them.

If you would like to learn more, please feel free to fill out the information below or call me directly at 978-921-1103. I look forward to hearing from you and look forward to working with the local school districts and families on the South Shore.

Sincerely,
Dr. Ryan Plosker
