I would describe Shore as a place where we want everyone to feel accepted and feel welcomed and to feel appreciated and to just be themselves and have a good time.
I love coming to Shore every day because I get more opportunities to go out and learn how to do things. I love seeing my friends here.
We come from all walks of life. It feels like home at Shore. It is multicultural, and it is all about teamwork.

School counselors help students in more ways than you may know. This week, we celebrate them as a part of National School Counseling Week 2026. Shout out to the incredible counselors at Shore. We are grateful for you!

Due to the winter storm, all Shore Educational Collaborative programs will be closed on Monday, January 26th.
This year Shore Collaborative is celebrating 50 years of educating, enriching, and inspiring children and adults with disabilities to reach their full potential. As part of our celebration we were given a challenge to complete 50 acts of kindness throughout our 50th year. Together we’ll be intentionally creating thousands of extra moments of positivity, connection and care in honor of Shore’s 50th anniversary. 

As their first act of kindness our Peabody CBDS group decided to do a grilled cheese fundraiser for our friends at @connorskindnessproject . The CBDS group took orders, shopped for supplies, made the grilled cheeses and delivered them to all who ordered. The fundraiser was a huge success (because who doesn't love grilled cheese?) This week we were able to drop off the money we raised to Connor's Kindness Project. We are already planning for our next act of kindness.
Wishing you a happy holiday season and reminding you that all programs at Shore Educational Collaborative are on Winter Break from December 24th to January 4th. Our programs will all reopen on January 5th!
