Located about six miles from the Asa Packer campus, near the Lehigh Valley International Airport, Lehigh’s Centennial School provides autistic children and troubled students with opportunities to start anew and to excel.

Governed by the College of Education, the school has been nationally recognized for using positive behavioral intervention techniques to deal with children who have behavioral problems. Its director, Michael George, has testified before Congress about the school’s successful efforts to do away with archaic forms of discipline.

Besides its mission to help students maximize their potential, the school helps prepare special education teachers to enter the workforce by bridging the gap between theory and practice.
