By empowering bright students who have language-based learning difficulties with the skills and strategies necessary to bridge the gap between their outstanding promise and present abilities, The Greenwood School helps its students improve their weaknesses, appreciate their talents, develop self-advocacy skills, and discover their true potential.
Arguably the greatest gift Greenwood gives its students is a rediscovery of the correlation between effort and success; that is to say that students quickly realize, “If I put forth effort, I will be successful.”
The Greenwood philosophy is one of remediating weaknesses, awakening talents, and building confidence. A comprehensive middle and high school academic program – including science, history, art, literature, music, and athletics – ensures our students are intellectually challenged, creatively inspired, and factually informed. Classes at Greenwood are grouped according to each student’s level of achievement and learning style.
This homogeneous grouping allows teachers to instruct each individual student most effectively within a class setting. By recognizing and meeting the needs of the whole student in a nurturing, home-like community, Greenwood creates a culture of caring, mutual respect, and possibility.
