Do you have questions about a student's behavior, academics, health, attendance, or drug and alcohol use? Check out Colonial's Student Assistance Program (SAP).
Pupil Services
Colonial students receive a wide array of basic and supplemental services, including special education, counseling and school health programs. More than 800 students qualify for individualized education programs (IEPs) due to specific disabilities, and approximately 200 students have gifted individual education programs. Fourteen school counselors support students in grades K-12, and four community counselors offer additional supplemental services.
School health services are provided by certified school nurses and staff nurses to all Colonial students as well as students attending non-public schools within the District. Routine health services include height, weight, vision, hearing and scoliosis screenings. Dental examinations and physical examinations are also provided according to provisions of the Pennsylvania School Code.
Additional supports to students and families include the services of a home and school visitor and a behavioral health adviser.

No household makes too much for a child to enroll in the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)*. Monthly premiums may be as low as $0.
Program focuses on goal setting, motor and speech/language skills, socialization, and academics — while still feeling like summer camp.
The social and emotional learning program helps students solve problems, discuss their feelings, and be a good friend.
Regent Walden celebrated Autism Awareness Month with a fundraiser to thank employees at Chestnut Hill Hospital for their service during the pandemic.
