About PHILLIPS
Our foundational approach supports a pattern of rigor and flexibility focused on the use of effective instructional and strength-based strategies, interventions, or programs, supported by evidence, research and the quality implementation of best practices. PHILLIPS uses this evidence-based approach in our practice, ensuring that we never lose sight of the necessity to promote services and programs that remain focused on positive change and outcomes.
“You give our children and us as parents hope. What seemed impossible before is possible with hope and PHILLIPS Programs!”

What Makes PHILLIPS Programs Different from Other Individualized Education Schools?
We know that all parents have choices when it comes to where your children go to school. There are many great schools in the greater DC area. At PHILLIPS we specialize in meeting students where they are and building education and support around them. We support the students and their families to guide them through the experience of living with behavioral health wellness needs.
Seven pillars guide all we offer at PHILLIPS. These core beliefs are infused at all steps of your child’s educational experience and how we design individualized programs that fit your family’s needs. These principles also guide how educators and staff interact with one another in creating meaningful change every day.
