The Sterling School

The Sterling School was founded in 1999 to meet the needs of Dyslexic and Language Based Learning Disabled children who need intensive instruction. It was apparent that in the New York city area, there were only a handful of schools that had any sort of program for Dyslexic children and few with a specialized curriculum designed specifically for them. The mission of The Sterling School is to provide that cirriculum. The curriculia is based on proven research and clinical models. Reading, writing, spelling and language arts are addressed using a sequential, direct multi-modal methodology known as Orton-Gillingham. Students receive instruction in classrooms where there is a 1 to 8 teacher student ratio. Teaching also happens individually and in small groups. ( www.sterlingschool.com )
