The Deron School of New Jersey is a private educational organization focused on special education programs. Founded in 1967, it operates two campuses—Deron I in Union and Deron II in Montclair—from its base in Short Hills, New Jersey. The school serves students aged 3 to 21 with learning disabilities and autism spectrum disorders, including those with multiple disabilities, intellectual disabilities, physical disabilities, or Down syndrome, while not serving those whose primary disabilities are therapeutic, emotional, or behavioral. Its curricula align with the New Jersey Core Curriculum Standards and are adapted to accommodate varying ability levels, offering a continuum of programs in academics, motor skills, and social and independent living skills. In addition to its core academic program, Deron provides a transition program and an extended school year (summer school) at both campuses, and serves students from Essex and Union counties as well as Passaic, Bergen and Morris counties, with the aim of fostering academic, social and emotional growth and preparing students for productive futures.
