HistoryIn 1959, the School was founded by David Schenck to teach children with learning and dyslexia-related differences that cause difficulty with reading and specific language skills.SpecialtiesThe Schenck School's mission is to build a solid educational foundation for students with dyslexia and to develop their rich potential. Founded by David Schenck in 1959, The Schenck School is widely regarded as one of the top schools for dyslexic students in the United States. Our strategy is the focused, accelerated remediation of dyslexia, and students typically are enrolled for two or three years before returning to a mainstream school. Unlike other schools, we celebrate when our students leave to further their education elsewhere. We have 250 students enrolled in grades Kindergarten through sixth, with a five-to-one student-teacher ratio. Our highly trained faculty use research-based, multi-sensory teaching methods to help students achieve academic success.
