Here at School, we provide specialized instruction for students with learning disabilities in grades K-8 in a private school environment.
We serve students with language-based learning disabilities such as dyslexia, memory deficits, language and processing disorders, ADD/ADHD, and difficulty with executive functioning.
We also work with students who simply don't thrive in a larger environment.
About a quarter of our students have no disability at all ¨C they simply are more successful in a more focused program.
Our students learn strategies to become efficient and effective learners, and strong self-advocates.
We are a strategy-based program, focused primarily on teaching students the most efficient and effective ways to acquire and use information rather than simply covering materials.
