"We recognize students learn at different paces and in different ways, and we differentiate instruction accordingly." - Core Belief
At The Alexander Dawson School, we know that in order to provide deeper educational experiences for every child enrolled at our school, we must also provide support for students with learning differences. Our robust Student Services program led by expertly-trained faculty members includes academic support and enrichment, data-driven accommodations, a language lab program, math support, a student success lab, social-emotional learning, and school counseling.
