The Schenck School

The official LinkedIn page for The Schenck School. For more than 60 years, we have taught students to advocate for themselves and to celebrate their dyslexia. They learn to view themselves as smart, independent learners capable of great things. Using the Orton-Gillingham Approach to phonics instruction, we are fully committed to helping students in K-6 who are struggling with reading. Through our comprehensive education program and emphasis in our curriculum, we build skills not only in Sound and Word Level Reading and Spelling, Reading and Writing, but also in Handwriting, Vocabulary, Fluency, Math, and Science/Social Studies. As we teach our students to thrive in and out of our classrooms, we also prepare them to successfully transition back to mainstream schools when the time is right. Through our students, faculty and staff, parents, and alumni, we continue to impact the dyslexia world. We share our knowledge on dyslexia through various outlets, including our outreach program ReadSource, and continue our education in the best practices to help advocate and celebrate dyslexics. We are accredited by Orton-Gillingham Academy, Georgia Association of Private Schools for Exceptional Children (GAPSEC), Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS), and Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS/COGNIA). We also are affiliated with The Dyslexia Foundation (TDF), the International Dyslexia Association (IDA), the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), and others.
