When it comes to helping special-needs kids, Christian microschools are stepping up to the table.
A table is exactly what inspired Beverly Smith to name her school The King’s Table, which is near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
“I was looking for a place for my son to get the level of care that he needed for his education,” says Smith, who has a son with special needs. “And I had this thought, ‘if it doesn’t exist, you need to create it.’”
She was seeking a dedicated special-education classroom instead of a school that offered both special education and mainstream classes. After almost three years of work, she’s found the right teacher, approach and space to host her school, which seeks to help students “discover and develop their identity in Christ and God given gifts so they overflow with hope and joy.”
