Our School
Prospect School was founded on the understanding that children learn in diverse ways, and with the right support, every student can thrive. Serving grades 4-8, we specialize in helping students with diagnoses such as autism, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and ADHD, as well as those with similar learning profiles.
We are committed to providing a challenging, college-preparatory education through individualized, responsive programs developed in partnership with families. Our goal is to ensure each child unlocks their unique potential.
*To ensure a comfortable reading experience for everyone, our website features dyslexic-friendly fonts.
