Friendship School strives to create an environment in which each child can use his/her strengths to grow in competence, resilience and self-esteem.
Friendship School is founded on the premise that every child can succeed. The school's leadership believes that the key to success is the creation of an individual curricula tailored to the specific needs of each child. The leadership is committed to the belief that the learning experience is immeasurably enhanced when the parents, the child and the school are all working together.
Friendship School combines innovative multi-sensory teaching methods, small group instruction and daily periods of tutoring.
Orton-Gillingham, along with supplemental language teaching methods (ex. Project Read, Wilson) provide the framework for our reading program. A commitment to maintain a low student-teacher ratio creates an atmosphere in which our children can develop academic competence. This competence will enable them to grow personally in their understanding of Dyslexia and its impact on their lives.
