Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech, formerly Clarke School for the Deaf, is a private school located in Northampton, Massachusetts that specializes in educating deaf children using the oral method through the assistance of hearing aids and cochlear implants. In the meantime, the school respects the decisions of the student to use sign language outside of campus or once they graduate or leave the school. While there are only 60 full-time students who attend Clarke's Northampton campus, over 3,500 people were directly benefited from Clarke's services, programs and research in 2009 and 500 students were directly enrolled at Clarke's five campuses in Northampton, Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Jacksonville.
