PREPARATORY PROGRAM

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.
