​“Thank you so much for all the wonderful lessons you’ve prepared and taught our daughter.  You are a fantastic teacher for our child and us; me and the children.  We are so proud of our daughter and her tremendous language growth. Best of luck as you continue to impart your knowledge and experience to other families. 
​We’re sure they’ll benefit as we have.”
-Rockland County parent, August 2016

​"Fanwood has served as a second home for my child throughout all of his years at the School.  The teachers and staff members have been an extension of our family, and an incredible support.  You have provided my son with the tools necessary to succeed in college, the workforce, and as an adult. The relationships he developed will last a lifetime and we are proud to be a part of the Fanwood community."

All the tools your child needs to succeed

New York School for the Deaf, also known as Fanwood, cultivates bilingualism by stimulating language skills and literacy in both ASL and English.  In this language –rich environment, Deaf and Hard of Hearing children are provided the tools necessary for life-long learning and success.  Proficiency in ASL is strongly associated with higher levels of English proficiency, as well as general academic achievement.
