About
Windward's mission is to remediate students' dyslexia or other language-based learning disability and to return students to mainstream schools.
The Windward School's academic program focuses on the three basic challenges faced by students with language-based learning disabilities:
- Acquiring the academic strategies and skills necessary to reach their academic potential.
- Developing self-confidence in their ability to achieve success.
- Understanding their learning differences so they can become effective self-advocates.
Students enter and leave Windward at different points throughout grades 1 through 9. 98% of Windward students return to mainstream schools after it is determined they have completed the Windward academic program and are ready to return to a mainstream school.
