My daughter is thriving at Chartwell, school for kids with dyslexia.  When we first went to the open house, we were amazed by the airy, modern beautiful campus on the green lawn, small class sizes (3-8), fun classes like robotics, claymation, and we saw two 3-D printers.  That means they teach CAD (So clever as kids are addicted to Minecraft)!  They do hands-on, multi-sensory teaching where they might create a 3D object to measure the volume by actually measuring the length of sides.  Language coding, much more explicit way of learning the language, made a lot of sense for us.  However, it was the art display on the hall way and everywhere on campus that took our breath away.  They are displayed in the way that you'd think this is an art school.  The kids' art at all ages were so expressive, vibrant, and really intriguing.  They even have a pottery studio.  Art has always been my daughter's passion so we looked at each other, eyes beaming with enthusiasm.To get a taste of Chartwell, my daughter went to their summer school.  Wow, what an eye opening experience it was for her!  She said that the teachers made things so fun that even doing homework was fun.  "It feels so good to understand everything, mom!" she said on the very first day.  She was so proud of her daily mini achievements and she was sending me photos of pottery she made, video of a rocket she launched, even the photo of the white board that showed a tough math problem that she did correctly.My daughter started in the fall, and we received nothing but overwhelming support from her teachers and staff.  I feel so fortunate that my daugther is at Chartwell. The next three years might be the pivotal point in her academics.  She is ever so curious, happy, and proud of her learning progress.  If she can approach learning in the way that she does now, I strongly feel that she is set for life, thanks to all her dedicated and passionate teachers at Chartwell.

Chartwell School is an amazing place!  The staff at Chartwell are experts at motivating and instilling a hunger and curiosity for learning.  Chartwell is a specialty school created for students with average to above average intelligence who struggle with one or more learning difference.  They use technology, specific teaching modalities and personalized attention to make every student successful.  If you and your child have been struggling through school, their is an alternative. While Chartwell is expensive, you will see the benefits quickly.  Within weeks of starting Chartwell our daughter was excited and enjoying school.  Our son started Chartwell in the seventh grade.  He has always hated school.  From the first day of starting Chartwell he is excited about school and does his homework without any drama or prompting from his father or me!   Most students stay at Chartwell for a few years and transition back to traditional school once the child has learned how to manage and use workarounds. There is hope and it is spelled C-H-A-R-T-W-E-L-L
