Inspired Learning
At The Schenck School, our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to empower students with dyslexia by focusing on their individual learning needs. Within a dynamic and supportive environment, we are laser-focused on reading instruction in a language-rich environment. Building skill and confidence in reading ensures academic success in not only language arts, but all content area instruction and math. Our specialized instruction in reading, writing, and mathematics is complemented by engaging classes in art, music, and physical education (PE), fostering creativity, expression, and physical well-being. Each student benefits from a individualized approach that not only addresses their academic challenges but also nurtures their talents and interests, preparing them for successful transitions to mainstream educational settings.
Schenck School teachers, through expertise, compassion, and dedication, help each student unlock reading while helping each child develop an awareness of their personal strengths. This experience is truly transformational.
