At The Prentice School, we are committed to empowering your child. Our nurturing program is designed to foster growth, both educationally and socially.

The Prentice School is an award-winning private school designed for children with language-based learning disabilities, like dyslexia and co-occurring conditions, including ADHD.

Our immersive small group focused program is designed to prepare and empower our students for a life of self-advocacy, personal growth and the understanding that their differences can be their strengths.

Prentice is committed to being a safe space where children with language-based learning disabilities can thrive!

Over 36 years ago, a small group of parents banded together with one goal... to create an educational institution that would give their children with dyslexia the education they deserved. They formed what is now The Prentice School.

Today, that small school is now a 6.6 acre campus with over 25 classrooms serving over 146 students through 8th grade.

At The Prentice School, our mission remains steadfast – to empower students with language-based learning differences and co-occurring conditions, such as ADHD, to recognize their unlimited potential. We inspire them to tap into their creativity, intelligence, and leadership skills, and help them achieve success beyond their wildest dreams.

I am so excited that you're considering becoming a member of the Prentice family and look forward to meeting you and your student soon.

Our innovative, research-based multi-sensory program is built around teaching students with language-based learning differences and co-occurring conditions in the way they learn.
