About Craig

Learning disabilities are not a reflection of intelligence. Every student at The Craig School tends towards average — or above average — ability.

Mission Statement

The Craig School empowers students with language-based learning differences by using research-based strategies to meet each student’s individual needs, build confidence, achieve academic success, and thrive in and beyond the classroom. Guided by a dedicated and compassionate faculty, The Craig School provides a safe, supportive, and intentionally small learning environment where students are seen, understood, and celebrated. 

Additionally, the school helps parents assess their child's true potential and provides families with an internal support network comprising parents, teachers, alumni, and other experts to help them navigate their child’s entire educational journey. 

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.

How We Teach

Instruction That Goes Beyond the Standard

The Craig School's instructional methods extend far beyond New Jersey state guidelines — drawing on decades of evolved, evidence-based strategies.

Core Methodology

Multisensory Learning in Every Classroom

The defining hallmark of Craig's instructional approach is its commitment to multisensory engagement. Following the trail blazed by Orton and Gillingham, every lesson is designed to engage all sensory modalities — visual, auditory, and kinesthetic-tactile — simultaneously. This is not a supplemental technique; it is built into the fabric of how every subject is taught, every day.

Standards

Aligned to NJ Common Core

Textbooks and academic content at The Craig School are consistent with New Jersey State Common Core Standards — ensuring students are progressing along a recognized academic pathway while receiving specialized instruction.
