“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” - Benjamin Franklin 

Who We Are

Welcome to The Whole Learning School, a Twin Cities’ private school for children with special needs. We focus on providing an individualized education that teaches essential life skills, social awareness and interaction, and academics that prepare students to achieve a fulfilling and independent life. 

The Whole Learning School is designed to help our “specially-abled” students succeed in a learning environment that understands and supports their needs. Our expertly-trained staff provide a multi-sensory, hands-on and reflective learning experience that gives students the opportunity to truly learn. In addition, we provide small class sizes (2-9 students) and learning plans customized to each child’s current developmental level and learning needs for mastering critical knowledge and skills.

Most importantly, students at The Whole Learning School enjoy meaningful membership in our school community. They experience a safe, supported, and intimate learning environment where they feel physically and emotionally secure. Together, they are engaged and motivated to learn and grow. Our integrated program is a journey that enables students - who may have struggled in traditional environments - to become confident, independent self-advocates prepared for their next steps in life.

Our Students

The Whole Learning School enrolls students between the ages of 7 and 18 who have a variety of cognitive, neurological or developmental disabilities. Our students all experience substantial challenges in learning, relationship and social skill development, and in their capacity for independent living. In addition, they are likely to have needs related to attention deficits, sensory issues, processing speed and often are working significantly behind their academic grade level. 

The Whole Learning School does not limit enrollment to children based on diagnosis or disorder, but rather, offers our specialized school environment for challenged learners who share some or all of the above characteristics.
