The John Crosland School

5146 Parkway Plaza Boulevard, Charlotte, NC, 28217-0282
There are places in the world that are special and beyond description. The John Crosland School happens to be just such a place. We are a community of teachers, learners and creators that have bound together to craft an educational experience for children with learning disabilities and Attention Deficit Disorder that transcends "school".  The mission  is to provide students in grades K-12, who have specific attention and learning disabilities, the individualized education to achieve their highest potential. The school strives to create an environment that nurtures and protects what we value most in our children: their curiosity, their talents, their character, their humanity, and their dreams. Our vision  is that we be an innovative pioneer in the attention and learning disabilities fields. Crosland is now one of the leading independent schools in the U.S. for creating academic success, and has helped more than 3000 students achieve their full potential.
