Discover the Difference
Center School believes every student deserves the opportunity to thrive as a learner. Since 1989, we have cultivated an environment where instruction meets intention; where teaching is purposeful, research-based, and deeply responsive to how children learn. Our students are thinkers, problem-solvers, creators, and emerging scholars who benefit from a program designed to celebrate their strengths while building the skills that make learning accessible and rewarding.
From early literacy foundations to advanced academic exploration, our teachers guide students through a journey that prioritizes growth, confidence, and independence. Center School is not defined by what brings students to our door, but by what they discover once here: a place where they are challenged academically, valued as individuals, and supported in ways that help them stretch beyond what they think they can achieve. Families choose Center School for its commitment to thoughtful education and for a community that sees students, fully and authentically, for who they are and who they can become.
Mission
Center School’s mission is to provide children who learn differently with a personalized education to realize their potential and reshape the way they view themselves and their future.
Philosophy
It is our belief that every student is capable of academic, social and emotional growth, and we are dedicated to designing instructional programs which foster each child’s optimal development through the use of small group instruction. This involves the ongoing diagnosis of the strengths and needs of each student, appropriate instructional placement, and a team approach to working with the students.
Our objective is to retain the excellence of an established program while integrating the best of current research and practice. We work to enhance the academic, social and emotional coping skills needed for future success.
