School Notes
The Winston School of Short Hills is a coed, 1st-8th grade,
independent school serving children with language-based learning
differences. Our students have the potential to meet with academic
success but have struggled to reach this success due to challenges
such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADHD, low processing speed, central
auditory processing disorder, and poor organizational and executive
functioning skills. Our reading programs are
Orton-Gillingham-based, and we believe in a multi-modality approach
to teaching in every discipline and at every grade level. Most of
our students move on to mainstream public, independent, boarding,
and parochial schools.
"Many of our parents tell us that their lives at home have
completely changed because their child is finally confident in
reading. They say their child is no longer struggling with
homework, they feel loved and supported at school and have become
confident learners - and that they wish they had found Winston
sooner." Dr. Josephine Diemond, Head of School
"We have had an absolutely wonderful experience at Winston, it
has made a dramatic difference in our son's life."Matt Daly,
