Mission Statement

The mission of The Craig School is to provide to our students a strategy-based, comprehensive and challenging school experience that acknowledges their learning disabilities, builds on their aptitudes, and strengthens their self-awareness and self-esteem. We help our parents assess their child's true potential and understand the nature of learning disabilities, and provide our families an internal support network within the Craig community.

CORE VALUES

Learning disabilities and learning styles should be acknowledged, understood, and addressed.

In addition to supporting a student's academic development, a school should also nurture his/her social, emotional, and moral growth.

All students can and will learn if the right environment and opportunities are provided.

Welcome to The Craig School!

I extend to you a warm welcome to The Craig School community. As you explore our website, may you feel our sense of community, school pride, and unabashed celebration of students with language based learning disabilities. I encourage you to visit our campus and experience The Craig School first hand to gain a better understanding of our strong sense of community, purpose, and mission. I look forward to meeting with you in person and sharing with you our passion for educating students with language based learning disabilities.

They say it takes a village…well we have been so incredibly lucky to have Craig partner with us in raising our son since he entered at third grade. The strength of this school is not only in the individualized plans and holistic approach to each child, but in it’s amazing faculty who personally invest in our children every day. I honestly don’t believe that today, as a junior in Craig High, our son would be the happy, confident, capable emerging adult he is without Craig’s support in helping him grow academically, socially and personally. We will be forever grateful.

Hear what our parents are saying...

Increased academic independence and improved academic success

The Craig School’s dynamic educational program, small class size and comprehensive support systems give students the specific learning strategies and program accommodations that allows for greater self-understanding, increased academic independence and improved academic success.

Our sixth grader couldn’t be more happy, confident or secure…

We are half way through our first year at Craig school and our sixth grader couldn’t be more happy, confident or secure. She has expressed that she feels understood and that Craig School was made for her. There is no greater joy as a parent than to see your child thrive rather than see them shrink in the shadows of their teachers and peers. We are excited to see her greatness continue to unfold.

The Craig School has changed Evan’s life, we cannot thank you enough…
