The Chamberlain School teaches kids the joys of a Factory Five

FFR Mk3 motivates those with difficulties that effect learning and behavior


There are kids out there for which the public school systems just don’t have time.  They’re the ones who “slip through the cracks” of society.  Many of them have the desire to learn, they want to have a career and they look forward to achieving success in their lives, if only they had the chance to prove themselves.
 
 
 
The Frederic Chamberlain School (Middleboro, MA), a private, non-profit and coeducational facility, was created to give those kids the opportunity that they deserve.  They are truly changing lives on a daily basis by “fostering a motivating and supportive academic environment" for learning disabled, as well as emotionally and behaviorally challenged youth.  At the Chamberlain School “staff and students come together to foster success in school and in all aspects of life”, and they have succeeded many times over with kids from all over the world.

 

Recently they added an automotive program to their diverse curriculum in order to teach the kids the joys of working on cars and the thrill of troubleshooting complex vehicular systems.  In 2006, they decided to provide the students with an even more exciting automotive project – a Factory Five Mk3 Roadster.  Not surprisingly, the enthusiasm was infectious and the kids wanted to work on the car around the clock.  Soon, a fantastic Factory Five was running and driving the grounds of the 14 acre complex.  This year they have added a second Factory Five to the fleet, and they have had to turn kids away from the automotive program since it filled up so quickly.
 
 
With the help of highly structured programs and coordinated teaching, like that used in the Factory Five build, coupled with residential care and counseling, allow Chamberlain students to achieve success for themselves at home, in school and in life.
 
 

We, at Factory Five are proud to be a part of the Chamberlain School curriculum, and are continually humbled by the impact of the products we create, produce and sell.

 

Few words were better spoken than the Chamberlain school motto - "Every student can succeed!  Compassion, caring, and counseling lead the way.”  We only wish that there were more programs out there like this one, charting the future for kids that simply need a little direction.
