Who We Serve

“For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected when received with thanksgiving, for it is made holy by the invocation of God in prayer.” 
- 1 Timothy 4:4-5

Embracing families with compassion and understanding.

Supporting families allows One Classroom to be a force for generational connections, mentorship, and community. Your love for your child and desire to prioritize an inclusive Catholic education drives our work. By accompanying families, we can ensure every learner — regardless of ability — has the opportunity to belong and thrive in Catholic education.

Who We Serve

One Classroom accompanies families and schools by providing the financial support, training, and resources needed to ensure every learner — regardless of ability — has the opportunity to belong and thrive in Catholic education. Students supported by One Classroom represent a population with 30+ unique diagnoses. We exist to ensure Catholic schools can serve students of all abilities with fidelity.

Your child belongs - no matter their diagnosis. One Classroom does not expect contributions from families, and our partner schools do not charge additional tuition in order for students to access additional support, on-site therapies, adaptations, or modified curriculum.

“Rose cantored for the first time at Mass today. She sang so beautifully and was so proud of herself. I could hear her above the others, sometimes just slightly off key. But the real beauty was that no one cared at all, and her volume encouraged all the kiddos to sing louder!
I’ve had at least five teachers reach out to tell me how proud they are of her.”

Why Schools Need
Your Children

There is a misconception that the only students who benefit from an inclusive education are students with disabilities and learning differences. As parents of children with disabilities, we know nothing could be further from the truth! A large body of research demonstrates that all children in inclusive environments achieve higher academic progress, better social-emotional development, and more long-term success. Furthermore, students with disabilities have much to teach their peers about compassion, honesty, acceptance and love. It is a win-win!

“All guests who present themselves are to be welcomed as Christ, for He Himself will say, ‘I was a stranger and you welcomed Me’ (Matthew 25:35).”
