ACADEMICS OVERVIEW
The 3-D School is a state accredited special purpose school for young students whose primary learning disability is dyslexia. The 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 the academic demands of the Orton-Gillingham based curriculum, students with severe receptive or expressive language disorders, severe behavioral disorders, or students with below average intelligence are not admitted to the school. Students that exhibit mild verbal and/or receptive language deficits receive Speech Language Therapy as needed.
The 3-D School maintains a low student/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 is designed to meet the unique learning needs of the dyslexic student. The specialized curriculum includes; daily Dyslexia Therapy sessions (Alphabetic Phonics), Language Arts includes Scientific Spelling, Multisensory Grammar, Project Read, and MTA Readers, Saxon Math, study units for Science and Social Studies meet the objectives stated in the Mississippi Frameworks. The students are involved in weekly art and music experiences. Field trips also add enrichment experiences for the students.
