The Community School - Teaneck

The Community School is a specialized K-12 educational institution serving students in New Jersey and New York who learn differently, with a particular focus on supporting those with ADHD, dyslexia, and other learning disabilities. The school provides a nurturing, inclusive environment designed to foster independence, self-confidence, and academic success through personalized instruction and a low student-teacher ratio.

The curriculum features evidence-based interventions, including the Wilson Reading Program and Orton-Gillingham Approach to strengthen literacy skills. To support the whole child, the school provides onsite speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, and intensive study skills development. Students benefit from a highly supportive academic structure that includes small group instruction, 1:1 tutoring in any subject, and daily homework support from teachers to build essential organizational habits.

Technology and extracurricular engagement are central to the student experience, with the integration of assistive tools like Learning Ally, Kidspiration, and text-to-speech programs. Beyond academics, students can participate in creative arts, athletics, and vocational training programs. With a proven track record of success, over 90% of graduates go on to attend colleges and universities, prepared for life beyond the classroom.
