Who Do We Serve
Choosing a school is one of the most meaningful decisions a family makes. It goes far beyond touring a building or reading a brochure; it is about finding an environment that supports a child’s academic needs, emotional well-being, and long-term growth. Center School offers an educational experience that combines academic rigor with an individualized approach, making learning both meaningful and attainable.
Our students are intelligent, curious, and very powerful thinkers who have experienced difficulty in traditional academic settings. They often demonstrate strong potential but need instruction that directly supports core literacy and learning skills to be successful. Their academic challenges are related to:
-
-
- Dyslexia / SLD-R
- Dysgraphia / SLD-W
- Dyscalculia / SLD-M
- ADHD
- Auditory Processing Disorder
- Executive Functioning Disorder
-
Our approach is rooted in the belief that strong skills fuel strong futures. Literacy is the cornerstone of academic success, and we teach it with intention, helping students gain fluency not only in reading and writing, but in the way they think, question, analyze, and communicate. Students engage with challenging coursework, participate in discussions that require reasoning and collaboration, and apply their knowledge in meaningful ways. This learning builds confidence not by lowering expectations, but by giving students the tools they need to approach challenges with resilience and curiosity.
To ensure we provide the proper support, we also recognize when our environment is not an appropriate match. Center School is not able to program for students who require:
• 1:1 wraparound services
• Behaviors including but not limited to elopement, and verbal/physical aggression
• A diagnosis including but not limited to Emotional Disturbance (ED), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), or Intellectual Disability (ID)
Families choose Center School because they want a program that cultivates independent learners who value both the process and the result of learning.
