Purpose:
Many children receive intensive remedial therapy through the Reading Therapy Center, LLC and return to succeed in their classrooms. Other children complete their therapy, but a gap still exists in their ability to succeed with grade-level material. These children need a longer period where therapeutic techniques can be intertwined within classroom curriculum to strengthen their skills. This all-day school fulfills this objective.
Philosophy and Goals:
We believe each child who has a learning difficulty and is of average intelligence can achieve success when the learning difficulty is treated appropriately using research-based techniques.
The Sarah Ann School is a 501(c)(3), all-day school uniquely designed to meet the academic and emotional needs of children with learning difficulties. It provides an excellent education emphasizing core curriculum and accommodates each child’s individual needs. The incorporation of the excellent therapeutic programs of the Reading Therapy Center, LLC, into curriculum is one of the important elements of distinction for the Sarah Ann School.
