Most of our classrooms are located within community environments in Hartford, Avon, Plainville, Bristol, Portland, Hebron and Haddam Killingworth, allowing for best integration opportunities. Many of our classrooms are located in public school settings and provide students a unique integration experience. This model promotes the inclusion of Oak Hill students in the life of their school and their home communities. Some residential students live in supervised community group homes.

Our classrooms are heterogeneous, providing our students with exposure to a diverse population of students where they can learn from each other. Our programs are divided into Primary/Elementary classrooms and Secondary/Transition classrooms.
