Independent School for Learning Disabilities
At The Craig School, everything centers on three things: engagement, structured language, and collaboration — so students who learn differently can thrive.
Independent. Purposeful. Life-Changing.
The Craig School was founded as an independent school in 1980 with one purpose: to serve children with learning disabilities — specifically the kind that make decoding, reading comprehension, and written expression a daily struggle. For more than four decades, we've stayed devoted to that founding mission.
Students Who Are Ready to Achieve
With the right intervention and the right school setting, our students don't just meet traditional academic benchmarks — they're capable of exceeding them.
Beginning in 2nd grade and continuing through graduation, Craig provides a full continuum of support.Craig School Prepares Students for Life
Our research-based program, tailored to students with learning disabilities, creates lasting impact in three key areas.
Relationships
Craig students go on to thrive in whatever comes next, equipped with the academic skills and self-advocacy tools our program builds.
Academics
A strength-based education builds confidence and resilience — the foundation every student needs to pursue a meaningful, successful path.
Life
Social-emotional and moral growth are woven into every part of the Craig experience, producing well-rounded, compassionate young adults.

Real families. Real transformation. The Craig School difference, in their own words.
We're halfway through our first year at Craig, and our sixth grader couldn't be happier, more confident, or more secure. She's told us she finally feels understood — that Craig School was made for her. There's no greater joy as a parent than watching your child thrive instead of shrink in the shadows.
The Craig School has changed Evan's life — we can't thank you enough. Every one of your teachers is fabulous. The growth we've seen in him, as a learner and as a person, has been nothing short of remarkable.
I'm in awe of how hard everyone has worked to make this experience as close to in-person as possible. I can't say enough about how positive it's been for our family, in spite of the challenges around us.
