Admissions Welcome

Our students possess average to above-average cognitive ability and have struggled in school in various ways. Their profiles may include one or more of the diagnostic labels listed below. The Howard School isn’t the right fit for every student. We are not a therapeutic school, and we do not have specialized programs primarily for behavioral/psychiatric diagnoses, social/emotional diagnoses, or pragmatic language disorders.

We serve students with one or more of the following challenges:

• Dyslexia: a brain-based learning difference that impacts one’s ability to read and spell
• Expressive language disorder: difficulty using language to express thoughts and feelings
• Receptive language disorder: trouble understanding the words one hears or reads
• Dysgraphia: a brain-based learning difference that impacts your ability to transfer thoughts and ideas into written language
• Dyscalculia: a brain-based learning difference that impacts one’s ability to understand number-based information and math
• Auditory processing disorder: a brain-based disorder that decreases a person’s ability to hear the small differences in words and sounds, resulting in reduced comprehension, delayed language acquisition, and difficulty keeping up with directions and information shared in the classroom
• Executive functioning (EF): time management, attention, planning and organizing, remembering details, multitasking (the skills that help people get things done)
• Attention deficit disorder (ADHD): an ongoing pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with functioning or development

We offer rolling admissions for Grades K-12.  So there is no particular timeline to follow. Students can apply and enroll any time throughout the school year.

Every student is different. Some stay at Howard for a few years and then transition to another school. Other families choose for their child to stay through graduation.

Our expert staff is here to work with each family as they consider the progress of their child and make important decisions about the future.
