The Craig School

The Craig School is a private nonprofit special education school in Irvine, CA, specifically designed for students in grades 3-8 who struggle with ADHD and executive function challenges. The school provides a highly structured and nurturing environment focused on fostering cognitive-behavioral growth and developing the essential self-regulation skills necessary for lifelong success.

The school's therapeutic approach integrates academic, social, and behavioral learning through a collaborative model between educators and licensed therapists. Students benefit from a 5:1 student-to-faculty ratio and specialized programming that includes daily group social skills training, anxiety reduction, and anger management. A positive, rewards-based system is used to encourage behavior modification within a small, supportive classroom setting.

Recognizing that success extends beyond the classroom, The Craig School emphasizes parent involvement through group sessions and seminars, helping families implement behavioral strategies at home. Building on a 30-year legacy of specialized programming from the University of California, Irvine, the school offers a holistic, adaptive environment tailored to each student's unique developmental needs.
