School Notes

  • Cambridge School, located in Pennington, NJ, (Princeton area) is an independent special education school for children diagnosed with language-based learning differences, such as dyslexia, ADHD, executive function challenges, and auditory processing disorder, among others. Cambridge School was founded on the belief that every child deserves the opportunity for an excellent education.
  • Our program is individualized to meet each child`s needs. Cambridge is a small school where teaching, learning and personal relationships are paramount.
  • Our curriculum develops specific academic skills, builds a foundation of knowledge on those skills, and stimulates intellectual curiosity.We provide a multi-sensory, whole-child approach to education in a non-clinical, nurturing, traditional school environment.
  • We promise our students opportunities to investigate their interests, acquire confidence in their abilities, believe in their own intrinsic worth, and develop the skills necessary to achieve success.Our goal is to prepare each student with the necessary academic, personal and social skills to succeed.
  • Our language-based curriculum utilizes the Wilson Reading System, Writing Revolution (Hochman Basic Writing Skills Program),Lindamood-Bell, and Orton-Gillingham techniques to develop the skills needed to master language. Our program utilizes phonics and emphasizes multi-sensory teaching, including visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles.
  • Our teachers are specially trained in phonics-based, multi-sensory teaching programs including Orton-Gillingham, Lindamood-Bell and they are also Level 1 or Level 2 certified in the Wilson Reading System. The instruction is carefully individualized so each student can progress at his/her own optimal rate. We believe that the structure and sequence of the program helps not only to improve basic skills, but also to organize the students` general way of learning. It is a step-by-step process that leads to an increased mastery and sense of self-esteem. A phonics-based, multi-sensory approach can be beneficial to any student, but to the student who learns differently, it is critical.
