- For over 70 years, The Cove School has educated students with learning disabilities and helped them build the self-confidence necessary to make a successful transition to their community schools or to make-post secondary choices.
- The heart of Cove's educational philosophy is to design a program that emphasizes the student's skills.
- The school designs an individual education plan -- a specific plan of action with built-in components for evaluating and measuring progress -- for each student.
- Moreover, the plan is refined by close observation and continual assessment on a day-to-day basis.
- Students with learning disabilities are successful at Cove because they learn through their strengths rather than being hobbled by emphasis on their weaknesses.
