Perkins serves children who are blind or visually impaired at every
stage of life through its Early Learning Center (ages 3-6), Lower School (ages
5-14) and Secondary Program (ages 14-22). The Perkins Deafblind Program
provides academic classes and vocational readiness programs for students
with multiple sensory disabilities. Many students choose to live on campus in
one of 15 residential cottages where they learn independent living skills like
household management, cooking, cleaning and self-care.
