Schroth School Philosophy
Schroth School History
The Agency was founded in 1949 by a group of parents seeking therapy for their children with cerebral palsy. It was incorporated in 1952 as United Cerebral Palsy of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. In 1956, the Agency opened its first school for children from Monmouth and Ocean Counties.
In 1956 the school program opened at Dewey Street in Long Branch. In 1972 Monmouth Medical Center donated land for a new building on Bath Avenue in Long Branch. In 1973 the program moved to the new Bath Avenue location. In 1985 the school in Long Branch was enlarged by a major addition providing additional classroom and therapy space. The program was named “Schroth School” in recognition of the continuous support provided by the entire Schroth family. In 1994 the Schroth Center, housing the Schroth Adult Program and the Schroth School, opened in Wanamassa.
