The Greenwood School’s mission is to provide a challenging and supportive education to middle and high school students with learning differences. Through adaptive multisensory instruction in a positive, safe and secure environment, students develop the knowledge and skills necessary to achieve their highest potential in the classroom and beyond.
Greenwood School was established in 1985 by educators and parents seeking a solution for students who had “fallen through the cracks” of traditional education programs. Since then, Greenwood has served students challenged by developmental delays, Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), auditory and visual processing delays, dyslexia, specific learning disabilities (SLD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), in addition to various other learning differences.
In 1999, after 17 years of leasing space in neighborhood church buildings, the Greenwood School Board of Trustees launched a $5.5 million capital campaign to purchase land and construct a school. Chaired by David Stein, who donated the 14 acres of land, the campaign generated the funding to support the construction of a new school and build an endowment for scholarship support.
Greenwood serves students that have generally not found success in traditional classroom settings. Our approach to education focuses on meeting the academic, social, emotional and physical needs of each student. The comprehensive curriculum is designed to develop ultimate proficiency in the core subject areas as well as art, music, computer literacy, self-reliance, physical education, social and environmental responsibility, and outdoor skills and experience. This is all done with the understanding that students get the most out of an education that challenges them to achieve within a safe and encouraging environment.
