Benedictine

Our mission is to support children and adults with developmental disabilities and autism so they can achieve their greatest potential. We have been serving Maryland for over 60 years, including Baltimore City and County.

A nonsectarian, nonprofit service provider, our school is one of only 22 nationwide to earn accreditation from the National Commission for Accreditation of Special Education Services (NCASES).

Students live on our school campus, in student group homes or commute from surrounding communities. We have an Easton Community Services and Training Center that works with the Department of Rehabilitation Services (DORS) to provide job training for special education high school students.

We also support adults with community-based group homes or in day programs. We provide these adults with employment training, transportation, job coaches, and placement in retail, hospitality, and customer service roles, along with personal enrichment activities. In total we have 22 group homes for both adults and students.

Key fundraising events include a spring gala, golf tournaments, and a summer car show and motorcycle rally that takes place on our campus in Ridgely.
