Our seventh to twelfth grade SHIP program is located in Midland Park Jr./Sr. High School in Midland Park, New Jersey. This unique program allows students who use a listening and spoken language approach and students who use a total communication approach the opportunity to be educated together along with their general education peers in a public school setting. SHIP follows the Midland Park High School (MPHS) calendar, curriculum and grading procedures. All SHIP students are eligible to participate in MPHS extracurricular activities.

The SHIP staff works collaboratively with the general education staff to ensure the success of the students. Within our consultative and small group instruction programs, our teachers of the deaf and hard of hearing consult with a general education staff to provide students access to instruction, an optimal listening environment and appropriate modifications. In addition, students are supported in their advocacy and social emotional skill development. Supports for our students are based on individual needs aligning with their approach to communication. These supports can include educational audiologists, educational interpreters, communication access, real-time translation (CART) and hearing assistance technology. All of our staff use specialized techniques to develop language outcomes, advocacy skill development and social emotional support.
