ACADEMICS OVERVIEW

 

The 3-D School offers a full day academic program for dyslexic students in grades 2-4.  The goal of the program is to remediate the specific language based learning disability of dyslexia to the degree that students are able to return to the traditional school of their choice.

 

The program has been developed to address the needs of high potential students.  Due to this focus and the academic demands of the program, emotionally disturbed, behaviorally disordered, or students with below average intelligence or severe verbal or receptive language disorders are not admitted to the school.  The 3-D School provides speech and language therapy services for the dyslexic students that exhibit mild verbal and/or receptive language deficits.

 

The 3-D School maintains a low student to teacher ratio.  All teachers and therapists are certified in the area they teach and have received intensive training prior to working with students.

 

The curriculum includes; an Orton-Gillingham based method adopted by the Mississippi College Dyslexia Therapy Training Program that was originally developed by the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital, multisensory Saxon Math, and enrichment study units for Science and Social Studies.  The students will be involved in weekly art and music experiences.  Field trips and special guests will also add enrichment experiences.
