School Notes

  • The Churchill School and Center is a K-12 coeducational college preparatory day school dedicated to working collaboratively with students, educators, and families to help children with language based learning disabilities realize their fullest potential.
  • At Churchill we embrace our differences as a gift. We understand that each and every student comes to us with a unique constellation of strengths, talents and interests and that students with language-based learning disabilities need a specialized program that works to meet their specific needs.Supported by our expert team of educators and staff, we address students academic and social needs by evaluating the latest innovations and researched-based pedagogy in order to create tailored solutions set within an intensive, yet rigorous program that drives students to succeed.
  • In our Lower School, encompassing grades K to 6th, we work to build the foundations of learning by cultivating in our students a love for knowledge and a passion for discovery. Lower School students learn in small group settings which are guided by our team of school psychologists, social workers, speech and language therapists, executive functioning specialists and occupational therapists who work closely with classroom teachers and administrators. This collaborative approach ensures that each student receives the tailored support they need to thrive and includes both embedded supports and related services.

  • In our Upper School, encompassing grades 7 to 12, our goal is to equip students with the skills and strategies they need to continue growing into self-aware, lifelong learners who are curious, confident and proactive. Upper School students work collaboratively with advisors, teachers, mental health specialists, speech and language clinicians, learning specialists and other staff to ensure that students needs are supported across disciplines and content areas. As a college preparatory program, we work to ensure students are ready to meet the demands of college through our intensive college guidance program. With that said, we also recognize that college, like most things in life, is not a one-size-fits-all model! Students are also given the opportunity to shape their Churchill experience through participation in various student life initiatives such as Student Government, our Service Learning Program and internships. Others discover avenues to express their talents by joining sports teams or venturing into creative pursuits in music, art, and theater.
