About

Our community has been waiting for a program like The Whole Learning School for a long time. This school serves kids who have literally been falling through the cracks in standard school settings. Now at TWLS, kids with unique learning styles can reach their greatest potential.

Holistic, Individualized Programming

Our goal is to provide an integrated education where every curriculum element is aimed at achieving an independent adult life. Each child has an individualized learning plan that is tailored to his/her learning needs, current developmental level, and learning path for mastering critical knowledge and skills required in each phase of child development.

Our curriculum encompasses core academics, the arts, social skills, practical living/ community skills, and adapted mind/body therapeutic exercises. We provide a multi-sensory, hands-on and reflective learning experience which greatly helps students to become more self-reliant and independent learners.

Students experience a safe, supported and intimate learning environment. They feel physically and emotionally secure. They belong. They’re engaged, no longer sitting on the sidelines; motivated to learn, grow and succeed together. Class sizes are very small, with learning groups ranging from 2-9 students, allowing our experienced special education teachers and therapists to focus on each child’s success.
