Welcome
There is no more precious commodity than your child's education and it becomes that much more valuable when facing a learning challenge, such as dyslexia.
The Swift School is a non-profit private school serving children in grades 1-6 with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences. We know that dyslexia is not something that is "fixed." Dyslexia is overcome by applying rules and through extensive repetition. This is why The Swift School utilizes proven techniques, such as the Orton-Gillingham Approach, to teach children to read.
- The Swift School helps students identify and develop skills and strategies that address their learning challenges so that each child can experience academic success.
- The Swift School helps children identify their academic strengths and talents, which leads to the development of stronger self-esteem.
- The Swift School promotes an environment that honors individuality and respect for others.
- The Swift School strives to provide a nurturing environment so that children feel safe to try new things and improve their skills.
We know that all students are not the same. Teachers must be willing and able to develop individualized learning plans for each student based upon that student's needs and abilities. Everyday, The Swift School teachers strive to meet the needs of each student and often interact with other professionals, such as tutors, speech pathologists, occupational therapists, and psychologists, to ensure the best overall plan for each student.
