The meaning of Serendipity’s Name

The word Serendipity means the unexpected discovery of something good. When our school was named in 1979, it was with the intention to provide that something good in the lives of young people challenged by disability and trauma. The “something good” Serendipity seeks for our students involves school experiences that cultivate competence, courage, confidence, and empathy. It is “something good” when young people on the brink of surrendering their potential grow to see themselves, others, and their futures with hope.
