CELEBRATE LEARNING DIFFERENTLY
The Learning Center at The Lexington School is a unique program designed to support children with language-based learning differences while offering a completely immersive experience with traditional learners. Our 'school within a school' was built upon the framework created by Drs. Orton and Gillingham, whose structured approach helps students who struggle with reading. This technique is applied in all of The Learning Center classes and allows children to excel in their academic and social-emotional growth.
