School Notes

  • Winston Prep is a co-ed day school with campuses in New York City, Norwalk, CT, Whippany, NJ, and Dix Hills, NY, Marin County, CA as well as a Transitions program (located in New York and San Francisco) and fully Online campus.
  • We provide an individualized education for 3rd through 12th-grade students with learning differences such as dyslexia, nonverbal learning disabilities, expressive or receptive language disorders, and attention deficit problems.
When a school understands your child, challenges become opportunities and learning comes to life.Winston Preparatory School offers an individualized learning environment for students with diverse learning profiles, including ADHD, dyslexia, and NVLD.

Education for the Individual is at the heart of the Winston Preparatory School model. Your child's program is designed based on our understanding of their individual learning profile, allowing for precisely designed instruction tailored to their strengths and needs.

From coast to coast, Winston Preparatory School is creating places, physically and virtually, where neurodivergent learners feel understood and supported. This unique approach is available in New York City, Long Island, New Jersey, Connecticut, California, and online so no matter where you are, there's a Winston Prep option to fit your child's journey.

Unlike other learning models and programs, Winston Prep groups students by learning profile and provides daily 1:1 instruction. Surrounded by the right group, each child becomes part of a team. Classes are intentionally small, allowing teachers to work closely with students, adapt instruction in real time, and foster meaningful connections.

"I rarely leave the parent-teacher conference at Winston without tears in my eyes. I am amazed at how well these people know my child, how concerned they are about my child, and how much thought and effort these people have given."Peter B., Winston Prep Parent

This individualization combined with social-emotional learning and essential skill development leads to clear improvements in academic achievement, resilience, and connections with others. While this approach may feel new, Winston Prep's methods are rooted in years of evidence-based research and proven practice.

Why Winston Works:
  • Ongoing Assessment:It is the key to understanding your child's evolving strengths and needs so that we can most effectively help them through precise and individualized program design. It allows educators to measure skills, track progress, refine goals, realize potential, and improve the ability to learn.
  • Daily 1:1 Instruction:Winston's Focus program provides daily 45-minute, 1:1 remedial instruction for your child, targeting individual goals in the areas of greatest need. From time management and executive function skill-building to self-advocacy and navigating social communication, students build the independence and confidence needed for life and learning.
  • Development of Skills that Matter:All experiences, including what seem to be distinctly academic-related learning experiences, are directly tied to social emotional skills. Whether a student is approaching a math problem and needs to remain resilient, self-regulate their emotions and attention to remain goal-oriented or having a conversation with a group of friends who are struggling with something, requiring social communication and social responsibility skills in order to remain empathetic, listen actively, and contribute to the conversation in an appropriate and supportive way, there is always a social emotional piece of their experience. All experiences, including what seem to be distinctly academic-related learning experiences, are directly tied to social emotional skills.
The results?Winston Prep has a 99.7% high school graduation rate. More than 80% of graduates enroll in colleges and universities, compared to just 33% nationwide for students with learning disabilities. This year alone, Winston Prep graduates have been accepted to more than 100 colleges and universities.

Winston Prep accepts students on a rolling basis, so your child can start thriving without delay.Start the admissions journey by visiting www.winstonprep.edu.

School Reviews

I wanted to share that my son was just named Student of the Month at Winston Prep, and while that's an amazing achievement on its own, it means so much more to our family. This year at Winston Prep has been a journey of healing, growth, and transformation. After years of being overlooked and underserved in the Elizabeth public school system, Winston became a place to undo the damage, both emotionally and academically, and begin to rebuild the confidence and education that every child deserves to have. There are truly no words that can fully express what this school and its incredible staff have done for my son and for our family. They saw him, believed in him, and nurtured the brilliance we always knew was there. To see him thriving, smiling, and recognized for his efforts means everything.
