Specialized K-12 Day School
Where Children Who Learn Differently Thrive®
Your child is curious, capable, and full of potential, but they are not being taught the way their brain works.
At Cambridge School, we combine the proven cognitive science of Structured Literacy with an empowering, multisensory environment designed specifically for K–12 students with dyslexia, ADHD, and language-based learning differences. Here, we don’t just help struggling readers adapt—we give them the tools they need to become confident, independent learners.
Multisensory Learning
We engage visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile pathways simultaneously in every lesson. By activating multiple neural pathways at once, we tap into your child’s natural strengths in spatial reasoning and big-picture problem solving—sharpening focus, strengthening memory, and building deep, lasting understanding.
Evidence-Based Reading Instruction
Built around the Science of Reading, our Structured Literacy methodology (incorporating Wilson® and Orton-Gillingham principles) is at the core of all instruction. We explicitly build reading mastery alongside executive function tools for increased academic independence.
Expertly Trained Faculty
100% of our educators are Wilson® certified or trained specialists who understand neurodivergent learning profiles. Supported by a 4:1 student-to-faculty ratio, our teachers understand how your child learns best and taps into their extraordinary strengths to help overcome academic challenges.
Upper School Open House

Join us for an in-person visit and guided tour of the Cambridge Upper School. You’ll have the opportunity to meet some of our dedicated Upper School teachers and faculty, and learn more about our curriculum, elective offerings, and college preparatory programs. We look forward to having you!
Our Mission
Education for How Your Child’s Mind Actually Works
Cambridge School was founded on the belief that every child deserves the opportunity for an excellent education. To empower students to succeed, we focus on:
Integrated Literacy
At Cambridge, evidence-based methods like the Wilson® Reading System and Orton-Gillingham aren’t isolated interventions—they are integrated into every classroom, with every teacher. Structured Literacy and multisensory techniques are woven into history, science, math, and beyond, ensuring potential learning hurdles are replaced by reading fluency and academic mastery.
Strategic Intelligence & Confidence
Dyslexic and neurodivergent thinkers frequently possess extraordinary spatial reasoning, big-picture problem solving, and creative insight. When bright children struggle to read or organize, traditional school environments can diminish their self-worth. By pairing explicit language and reading instruction with open-ended problem solving, we turn school anxiety into self-advocacy, measurable skills, and lasting confidence.
Executive Function & Self-Advocacy
Navigating school—and life—requires more than subject knowledge; it requires understanding how you learn best. We explicitly teach organization, time management, working memory strategies, and self-advocacy alongside core academic subjects. Our graduates don’t just adapt, they excel. With a 100% college placement rate, Cambridge students enter higher education understanding their cognitive profiles.
Information Sessions & Tours
See the Learning in Action
Selecting the right school for your child is both an emotional decision and an academic investment. We invite you to join us for an in-person tour or virtual information session to see if Cambridge is the right fit for your family. Our Director of Admission will go over how our specialized faculty, individualized instruction and evidence-based strategies create a tailored learning environment that transforms daily frustration into visible progress.
What is a Learning Difference?
A learning difference is a distinct cognitive processing style—such as dyslexia, ADHD, executive function challenges, dysgraphia (written expression), or dyscalculia (math reasoning)—that reflects how a bright mind receives and retains information.
At Cambridge School, we view these profiles as learning differences, not disabilities. Our specialized K–12 curriculum replaces traditional classroom barriers with research-backed, multisensory instruction designed for how neurodivergent students learn best.
