Overview
Swift School is an independent school serving students in grades K-8 with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences. Swift's programming is designed to remediate the language learning challenges faced by these students while capitalizing on the strengths of dyslexic learners.
Swift uses the Orton-Gillingham Approach to teach students how to decode and understand language and helps students develop interpersonal skills that will allow them to thrive in life beyond Swift.
The Porter School specializes in teaching students with anxiety, ADHD, and mild to moderate learning differences who have not been successful in larger, more traditional classroom settings.
