The ingredients necessary to achieve that goal can be found in the Day School's innovative approach. This begins with a careful assessment of each student's needs by the faculty and psychologist, if necessary. Testing can be done to precisely define the areas of need and determine the features of the learning plan. Following the initial assessment or testing, the faculty works with parents to design the learning plan and match the child with just the right teacher. The Day School has an exceptional faculty who truly understand their students and are specially trained to help them learn.
Students work with adults who are patient, caring and positive role models.
Along with a faculty of outstanding teachers and assistants, the Day School contracts with a speech therapist and other specialists if needed. Dr. Thurlow, the founder is a former guidance counselor, school psychologist and superintendent of schools and supports the faculty with program planning and guidance services. The Day School is a different kind of school in more ways than just academics. Students must feel good about themselves and develop high self-confidence before they can learn successfully. The Day School can be a young person's very first success in school because of the emphasis on each student's social and emotional well-being.
