New School for Blind Kids Opens in Tucson

A groundbreaking new private school for blind and visually impaired students is launching in downtown Tucson this fall — the Tucson School for the Blind. Founded by veteran educator Kate Scally, it offers personalized, expert-led instruction in a supportive, small-community environment, filling a critical gap left by state school closures. Parents are rallying behind it, seeking the specialized care their children need — and the school is already enrolling its first 14 students, funded through Arizona’s voucher program and seeking donations to equip its tech-rich classrooms. With a focus on braille, low vision methods, and a low student-to-teacher ratio, this is more than a school — it’s a beacon of hope for families seeking excellence in education for their visually impaired children.
