My son came to the Center School as he was not learning to read and write (despite a high IQ) at his private school. He can now write well and reads at grade level and loves it. His self esteem has also improved. The Center School teaches students at their level not their grade in small groups. So my son gets help where he needs it (reading and writing) and challenged where he needs it (math).

I am a teacher at Center School and couldn't be happier with the dedication and enthusiasm of the teachers and staff. Working with small groups and being able to provide individualized instruction is just one of the perks to teaching here. We provide a positive environment that encourages students to work hard and feel successful in their accomplishments.
Center School has changed my son's life! He is learning, growing and thriving socially, emotionally and academically. I can't express how wonderful and caring all the teachers and staff are in the school and how hard they work to make all the kids a success.
