The Piedmont School is an alternative to learning disability programs offered in
the public schools where teachers often use a broader base of instructional techniques and work with up to 12 students in a class. By comparison, students in our
Half Day Program spend three hours each day working with a teacher and no more than
six other students. Teachers individualize each lesson and employ teaching techniques to match each student's learning style.
Students in our Full Day Program spend half of each day in
class with three to six students for instruction in reading, written language, and math. Their other courses have a maximum of nine students and, as in their core classes, the methods of instruction are designed to address individual learning styles.
Teaching Approach
The Piedmont School gets
results. Our programs not only build
academic skills, but they also foster a sense of responsibility and
provide tools for lifelong learning. Since opening in 1982, we have
transformed frustration and fear into motivation and self-esteem for
first-graders through adults. Although the drop-out rate for
students with learning disabilities is over 50%, 70% of our school's
alumni continue their formal education beyond high school. Admission
