“Our child is celebrated as a Complex Learner instead of seen as a complex problem.”
– A Wolf School Parent
When children’s brains work differently they might not be able to learn in traditional classrooms or in traditional ways. But they can learn.
At The Wolf School, a private K-8 special education school, children with multiple learning differences are able to finally unlock their full potential. Through small class sizes and an innovative learning model, Wolf provides Complex Learners with the tools they need for academic and social success.
Instead of pulling a student out for occupational therapy or speech support, these crucial services are immersed into the classroom for every lesson. Frequent movement breaks help students get their bodies ready to learn. These techniques, implemented by an expert, dedicated staff, empower students to uncover their own unique learning strategies. With our supportive community, Complex Learners and their families finally find the acceptance and encouragement they need to thrive and succeed together.
Wolf is about improving academics and getting students ready for high school and beyond. But it’s also about making families whole again, allowing communities to flourish, and helping children who once struggled find their creativity, ability, and confidence.
