At Center School, we believe every child deserves a learning experience that brings out their best. For over 37 years, we’ve partnered with families to help students in grades 1–8 build strong academic foundations, gain confidence, and develop a lifelong love of learning.
Serving families across Montgomery, Delaware, and Bucks Counties, and throughout Philadelphia, Center School is proud to be recognized as a leader in education for students with language-based learning differences. But more importantly, we’re a place where students rediscover the joy of learning and build lasting confidence in themselves.
Our early grades program focuses on foundational literacy and academic skill development, giving young learners the tools they need to thrive from the very beginning. As students grow, our 4–8 program builds on those foundations, encouraging independence, critical thinking, and self-advocacy. With over 500 hours of targeted literacy instruction each year, we offer more than just support - we deliver results.
At Center School, we meet students where they are and help them move forward with purpose. You won’t just find small class sizes and structured reading support — you’ll find teachers who understand how to unlock a student’s strengths and spark their curiosity. Whether it’s students tapping out sounds during Wilson Reading lessons or using jump ropes to build focus before math, each day is designed to make learning meaningful and engaging.
Beyond the classroom, Center School comes to life through hands-on STEM projects, creative arts, therapy dog visits, community events, and team sports. Our students experience a full, vibrant school life — one that builds academic skills and social-emotional confidence. Here, students grow not just as learners, but as leaders, teammates, and friends.
Progress at Center School isn’t one-size-fits-all. From impressive academic gains to everyday moments of courage and connection, we celebrate every step our students take. Here, growth is personal, and success is defined by the journey, not the comparison.
We’re more than a school — we’re a community that believes in what’s possible when students feel seen, supported, and empowered. Discover the unique benefits of Center School education.
