Choose Your Focus

When you select either the program in elementary education-grades 1-6 or the program in special education-moderate disabilities, grades PreK-8 at Curry College, you'll explore how good teaching practice builds on the latest educational theory and research.

Create Success

In each concentration, you'll create success as you immerse yourself in our five program components, including core courses in educational foundations, concentration courses in elementary education or special education, fieldwork involving observation and practice in supervised classrooms, a program portfolio that captures your reflections, and the capstone seminar to synthesize what you've learned.

• Study with people like yourself who share your passion for teaching and who come from diverse backgrounds and all walks of life - experienced educators, counselors, education paraprofessionals, teachers' aides, instructional assistants, career changers and other professionals
• Enjoy the Curry College hallmark of respect for your unique learning style, as experienced through small class sizes, individualized attention and our friendly campus environment
