I can not overstate the positive impact the DePaul School has had on our son. Our Son's academic achievement, confidence, and understanding have skyrocketed since he began attending DePaul. We saw a drastic improvement in his ability to read within a few weeks--I wish we had known about DePaul sooner! The DePaul School is staffed with amazing dedicated teachers in every classroom and support staff who truly care about every student and their success. If you are searching for a school that delivers excellence for students with dyslexia, search no more...The DePaul School is the absolute best there is.

Because of his dyslexia, not only were my son's grades suffering, but his self-esteem was as well. He was starting to act out in school due to his embarrassment, confusion, and anger. The staff at DePaul understood and embraced him from day one, they were caring and patient with him. He found allies and friends in the other students who completely got where he was coming from with zero judgment. There are still milestones to achieve, but thanks to DePaul we got our son back.

I can't say enough good things. My daughter has been struggling with reading and writing. We had tried 3 different public and charter schools in the area without the results that we expected. She LOVES to go to school every day and you can tell that she's retaining more of what she is reading.

I have 2 kids currently in Depaul, and one that finished the program and is in high school. We are so grateful to have found Depaul. I don`t know what we would have done if my kids didn`t have Depaul. It is a patient learning environment that focuses on the individual achievement of each child. Very happy with the school!

My daughter attended DePaul School the years of 2014 and 2015. She went in not retaining a single sentence she read and leaving being able to attain a full page. I was VERY HAPPY with the education my daughter received. My daughter is now back in a mainstream school and is able to maintain very good grades and keep up with her classmates. DePaul gave her her confidence and self esteem back. I would HIGHLY recommend DePaul School. The staff is excellent. Jason Trieloff

This school really helped me a lot. They have smaller class rooms so the tea hers can have one on one time if you don't understand the lesson. And in the delta program (middle school) you can rent out an iPad for the school year and starting in the school year of 2012 ever classroom will have a smart board. And all the staff are super nice. If you are look for a school for your child then you should look here.

I am the guardian of a child that has been struggling in school. She attended DePaul's summer school and was a different child with the care, nurturing and education she received in this short time. She improved drastically in reading comprehension, sound out new words and her cursive writing. What a difference this school made in her self esteem. She was always eager to go to school and came home happy. Her story writing was awesome, such creativity was shown in each story she wrote. A+++++ for this experience. Thanks you DePaul.

My daughter struggled in the public school system. I enrolled her in the dePaul school, and she has excelled in a very short time. The one on one instruction, and ability of the staff to adapt and help the child learn is fantastic.
