How the school works

Alpine Learning Group is a private, nonprofit ABA school in Paramus, New Jersey, founded in 1988 by a group of New Jersey ABA practitioners and parents — among the first ABA-based schools for autistic students in the country. It serves students ages 3 to 21 with applied behavior analysis integrated across the school day, and extends into transition and adult employment services. This profile is an editorially-maintained ABA Rank listing; the school has not yet claimed or verified it.
  • Alpine Learning Group runs a full academic program with applied behavior analysis embedded across the school day — not therapy bolted onto a standard classroom.
  • Instruction is designed and overseen by board-certified behavior analysts, working alongside classroom teachers and aides.
  • Families are part of the team — programs include parent collaboration, IEP coordination, and progress shared on a regular cadence.

How is an ABA school paid for?
