Marshwood Unified programs provide students, teachers, administrators, and coaches the opportunity to create an inclusive school environment that helps end the stigma of intellectual disabilities through a learning partner model. Mainstream and functional life skills students work together to foster a community of learners, who are seen, heard, recognized, and understood. Through shared experiences in the classroom, lasting friendships are made. Marshwood Unified Programs strive to create a better world for all. Orientation and training are provided during the first week of class. Some Unified Programs may require an application during the registration process.
