School Notes
- Kingsbury Day School is the oldest school in Washington, D.C. designed to meet the needs of students with learning difference and ADHD. Kingsbury is a co-educational, independent, special education day school serving students ranging from 4 to 21 years of age. Learning goals are met through multi-sensory, individualized and differentiated learning approaches.
- Social and emotional growth is facilitated through collaboration among a team of special education professionals which include occupational therapists, physical therapists, psychologists, speech and language pathologists and reading specialists.
- Kingsbury serves 165 students with average to above average cognitive ability. Our population includes students with mild to moderate auditory and visual processing disorders, students with non-verbal learning disabilities, ADHD, visual and spatial processing disorders as well as evaluative and organizational processing disorders. We are unable to meet the needs of students with a primary diagnosis of Mental Retardation, PDD and/or Emotional Disturbance. Students progress through a curriculum of concepts and skills at their own pace in our individualized academic program. We believe that students with learning differences can be taught effectively when instructional methods and curricula are tailored to their unique learning needs.
