The Preparatory Program accepts students in grades 9-12 and
offers a full secondary curriculum for students with language-based
learning disabilities, who need a specialized educational
environment, but who do not need an intensive remedial program.
The goal of the program is to help students develop and integrate
the language, organizational, study, and advocacy skills which
are essential for success in traditional secondary school
classrooms and in higher education.
The curriculum is parallel at each grade level to that of
other public and private schools. Textbooks and materials
are the same or similar to those used in traditional schools
for teaching course content. Significant emphasis, however,
is placed on developing and integrating study skills. For
example, students are not just taught history, but how to
learn history- how to take notes, read texts effectively,
and how to prepare for and take tests. All students take six
academic courses and one elective course.
