About Walbridge Academy for Children with Learning Disabilities Walbridge Academy 7035 Old Sauk Rd. Walbridge Academy provides an alternative setting for youngsters who require a specialized multi-sensory approach to address their individual learning styles. The goal is to prepare the student with strategies to compensate, overcome, or ameliorate deficits, thus preparing the student for returning to a less structured environment in a public or private school. Our mission is to educate intelligent, learning disabled students whose primary needs are academic as opposed to social, emotional or behavioral. The philosophy at Walbridge Academy is that all students evidence differences in the way they learn and the likelihood of school success is enhanced when a school program is built to support the learning styles of children.
All children can learn and have a right to learn.
Children who are unable to meet with success in a traditional classroom may need a specialized approach to address their individual learning styles. We recognize and respect the individual differences of children and are devoted to matching teaching styles of teachers with the individual learning processes of each student to assure development of academic skills, strong learning behaviors and positive self esteem. Children who discover how to learn recognize their strengths, develop confidence, and can realize more fully their human potential. To encourage and help each student to realize fullest potential. To develop, within each child, a sense of confidence, ability and worth as a student.
