Lower School
Lower School students can work with our Learning Specialist who specializes in helping with learning difficulties. The program includes multisensory reading instruction, particularly for students with dyslexia. We also use auditory, visual and kinesthetic learning tools, and a phonics-based reading approach. Cost for this program is based on the individual student's plan. -
