School Notes
At Marburn Academy, we celebrate students who learn
differently, empowering them to awaken their potential, to achieve
success in school and life, and to effect positive change in our
communities. We have a rich history of helping students overcome
their academic challenges while developing a strong sense of
self-confidence. Remediating skill deficits, building
self-awareness and self-advocacy, and developing thinking skills
are the main objectives when addressing new students' needs.
Marburn constantly refines its teaching methods to incorporate the
latest findings from the fields of education, cognitive science,
and brain research as they apply to the unique learning needs of
our students. The goal of the curriculum is to enable students with
dyslexia or ADHD to realize and fulfill their academic, social, and
emotional potential.
Teachers are extensively trained in the multisensory, diagnostic,
and prescriptive Orton-Gillingham approach that is widely
recognized as the preferred method for teaching reading and writing
to children with language learning differences. In addition, our
comprehensive mathematics curriculum experientially teaches
concepts and problem-solving skills.
Marburn Academy is designed specifically to meet the needs of
students who:
Are of average to superior intelligence
Struggle with the complexities of Dyslexia, ADHD, Executive
Function issues, or other language learning disorders; and
Are free of primary behavioral or emotional issues.
