WELCOME TO COTTING SCHOOL

At Cotting School we focus on the whole child. Cotting does more than simply create interventions to target a student’s diagnosis or disorder.

Cotting School serves 130 day students from 74 Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire communities and provides residential services to 8 young adults at HOPEhouse.
