About The Windward School Summer Program
The Windward School is a coeducational, independent day school dedicated to providing a proven instructional program for children with language-based learning disabilities. While The Windward School Summer Program follows the School's research-based, multisensory curriculum when structuring its academic offerings, it is a summer curriculum that can benefit students without language-based learning disabilities. The program's instructors, trained through the
Windward Teacher Training Program, are all full-time members of the Windward faculty.
Who We Serve
The Summer Program is a group learning model that is designed for children who possess average to superior intelligence and are not meeting their academic potential. The multisensory curriculum is designed for students who benefit from direct instruction, small class sizes, and the review, reinforcement, and repetition of skills. While a diagnosis of a learning disability is not required, students who typically benefit from the Program present with academic challenges in reading comprehension, writing, mathematics, and/or executive functioning. Students who attend the program are bright, hard-working, and available to collaborate with peers in a classroom setting. Applicants should not present with behavioral or emotional needs that would interfere with the group learning environment.
