Interest Form

A small school for blind students offers something many larger programs cannot:

Time, Attention, and Community.

Why Tucson School for the Blind is right for you.

  • Small Class Sizes
  • Student Community
  • Certified Teachers of the Visually Impaired (TVIs)

With very small class sizes, teachers truly understand each student’s learning style and provide individualized instruction in braille, assistive technology, academics, and independence skills.

Students also benefit from learning alongside peers who share similar life experiences, helping them build confidence and meaningful friendships.

Our program integrates academics with the Expanded Core Curriculum—including orientation and mobility, independent living, self-advocacy, and technology. Students gain the skills they need not only to succeed in school, but to thrive in life.

For many families, a small, specialized school creates the supportive environment where their students can truly grow.

Why Families Choose Our School

A School Designed Specifically for Blind Students

Most schools try to adapt existing systems for visually impaired students. Our program is built from the ground up with blind learners in mind, ensuring that instruction, materials, and the environment are fully accessible from day one.

Small Classes, Big Support

Our intentionally small classes allow teachers to truly know each student. Lessons can be adapted quickly, and students receive the time and attention they need to master both academics and independence skills.

Strong Braille and Literacy Development

Braille literacy is essential for long-term academic and career success. Students receive daily braille instruction and use braille throughout the school day across all subjects.

Real Assistive Technology Skills

Students learn to confidently use screen readers, braille displays, and other assistive technology tools that prepare them for high school, college, and the workplace.

A Community of Peers

Many blind students feel isolated in larger schools. Here, students build friendships with peers who share similar experiences, creating a strong sense of belonging and confidence.

Independence for the Future

Our goal is to help students become capable, confident individuals who can navigate school, work, and life independently.

What makes us Different

Blind students need more than traditional academics. Our program integrates the Expanded Core Curriculum, including:

  • Orientation and mobility
  • Independent living skills
  • Self-advocacy
  • Career awareness
  • Social interaction skills
