Eleanor Gerson School Programs

The Eleanor Gerson School Programs offer an alternative school experience for youth who have not been successful in standard educational settings. Typically, the program helps students who: are depressed, have thoughts of suicide, are withdrawn, are highly anxious, are inattentive, have a history of absences and/or tend to internalize stress. The program is offered through two separate schools: a high school, for students in grades 9 -12; and a middle school, for students in grades 6 - 8.

For more information see our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) at left or call the High School at (216) 861-6015 or the Middle School at (216) 521-6511.

The Eleanor Gerson West Middle School is located on Applewood Centers' Children's Aid Society Campus at 10427 Detroit Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio  44102-1645.
