What is The Craig School, and what types of students go to Craig?
The Craig School is a 3rd through 12th grade college preparatory program for students with academic learning disabilities. The Craig Lower School was founded in 1980 as an independent, elementary school for children of average or above average ability with language-based learning difficulties. Many of our children have difficulty succeeding in the traditional classroom and require specialized instruction in a structured atmosphere. Such specialized phonics-based programs as Orton-Gillingham are offered in a small-group, nurturing atmosphere. We also focus on organizational skills derived from a variety of sources including the Landmark and Benchmark Schools. The Craig High School opened its doors in 2000 in response to a void in the high school educational programs available to students with learning disabilities. Our goal is to provide a college preparatory program with strategic support to both our 8th grade graduates as well as families new to Craig.
