Established in 1980, The Craig School is an independent, nonprofit school specifically designed for bright students in grades 2 through 12 who possess language-based learning differences. The school specializes in supporting students with dyslexia, auditory processing disorders, and ADHD/ADD, helping them bridge the gap between their cognitive potential and their academic performance.
The school provides a rigorous college preparatory curriculum tailored to students of average or above-average ability. With an impressive 99% of faculty holding advanced degrees and an average class size of just 6 students, the learning environment is highly personalized. The school operates across two New Jersey campuses: a lower school (grades 2-8) in Mountain Lakes and a high school (grades 9-12) in Montville, ensuring a consistent and supportive educational journey.
Beyond academics, The Craig School offers a well-rounded experience with extracurriculars including soccer, basketball, cross country, and snowboarding. The school operates on a rolling admissions basis and offers summer programming. While tuition is approximately $45,000, the school's mission remains focused on equipping students with the essential skills needed to become lifelong, independent learners.
