Mission Statement
The mission of The Chandler School is to equip students of average to above average intelligence, who have language-based learning differences, reach their academic goals and to provide and prepare them for their future education.
We specialize in assisting children who have difficulties in reading,writing and math, specifically due to dyslexia and/or ADHD.
Core: LANGUAGE
The Chandler School’s main focus is the education of language. We primarily use the Orton Gillingham approach, but also mix in other proven methods. Every child is unique. Every child has a unique way of learning. Our goal is to find the formula that is best for each individual student.
Handwriting is emphasized in every class. Everything is written in cursive. Everything from pencil grip to body posture is taught and practiced.
Fluency reading is also a daily priority. Students read out loud to improve the fluency of their reading and comprehension.
Please see the Orton Gillingham page to learn about this approach.
