Admissions

Admissions Process

The COVE School serves day students in southeastern Massachusetts and eastern Rhode Island who reside approximately 1 hour drive or less from Plymouth, MA. The COVE reviews residential student referrals from Massachusetts and nation-wide. Students are primarily referred through a students’ school district or a placement agency such as MA DCF and RI DCYF. Private applications are also available. 

Referral Process

When a referral is received, The COVE admission team will review materials and determine if the student’s need fits the school profile. The COVE will then work with the family to determine if the student would be a social fit for the school, and if the school would be a good fit for the student. This process includes a pre-call with a prospective student’s guardians followed by an in-person tour and interview with the prospective student.
