The dePaul School For Dyslexia

The dePaul School for Dyslexia provides a specialized, full-time educational program for students in Kindergarten through 8th grade. The school is specifically designed to support children with language-based learning differences, dyslexia, ADHD, ADD, and processing disorders. By focusing on these specific neurodivergent needs, the school offers an alternative educational experience tailored to students who require more targeted instruction than a traditional classroom provides.

The curriculum is built upon a research-based, multi-sensory, and structured linguistics program, ensuring that instruction is scientifically aligned with how students with dyslexia learn. To promote personal success, the school utilizes frequent evaluation and assessment within a highly structured environment. With an average class size of just 8 students, the school provides the intensive, small-group setting necessary for effective specialized instruction and individualized attention.

As a non-sectarian, non-profit 501(c)(3) agency, The dePaul School offers a supportive and inclusive community for its 72 students. Financial accessibility is a priority, as the school accepts Step-Up Scholarships and offers limited scholarships, with 65% of students receiving financial aid. Admissions operate on a rolling basis with key deadlines in late spring and summer, and summer school options are also available to support continued learning.
