The Wardlaw Difference
Why Wardlaw
Tuned to the whole-child experience, Wardlaw addresses more than dyslexia, so children can become who they are meant to be.
Curriculum
Serving students in grades K-5th, Wardlaw focuses on the five pillars of reading, and takes children beyond the book to read deeply, think deeply, and live deeply.
Wardlaw Staff
Wardlaw's master teachers are trained as reading specialists and supported by additional specialists, including speech language pathologists and OTs, collaborating for each child.
Day in the Life
Each child is seen, heard, challenged and celebrated through conversation, critical thinking, deep reading and meaningful experiences.

Once you see the Wardlaw Difference, you will have a far better understanding of what Wardlaw can do for your child.
The Wardlaw School's singular focus is teaching children with dyslexia.
Wardlaw staff works together to support each child with dyslexia, with a commitment to individualized instruction and evidence-based practices.
In the hallmark book by Dr. Sally Shaywitz, Overcoming Dyslexia, Wardlaw is cited as one of the nation’s leading schools for children with dyslexia. Recognizing that reading does not end with proficiency, the Wardlaw School builds the complex language and literacy a child needs to master deep reading and design their own future.
At Wardlaw, students develop empathy, critical thinking, and executive functioning skills within a rigorous academic curriculum. This foundation empowers them to take charge of their own futures while inspiring a commitment to building a more just and equitable world.
Our Voices
Wardlaw students learn to see the world through the lens of problems they have the power to solve. Not defined by their dyslexia, Wardlaw children find their voice, articulate complex ideas, and engage with the world around them. From thoughtful conversations to research, writing, and presenting solutions, Wardlaw students leave prepared to make the greatest difference in the lives of others.
