Our Immersive Approach

Middle school students are full of energy, changes, and curiosity. Our teachers are knowledgeable in teaching students with dyslexia and language-based learning differences. They channel the energy and curiosity of their students through constructive learning experiences.

Our instructional programming was developed with intention and purpose to grow the whole student; that includes academic and social emotional learning. The immersive approach means that the whole school experience is designed so that language skill development is intensive and continuous throughout all subject areas. Current research is utilized to deliver instruction in structured literacy using the Orton-Gillingham Approach, multisensory math, knowledge based language arts, and investigation-led science and social studies. Teachers utilize technology throughout the day with the use of iPads, Chromebooks, and smart TVs. Students collaborate, create, and expand their knowledge while learning 21st century skills needed for the future.
