Organization Overview

Founded in 1959 by David Schenck, The Schenck School was created to teach children with dyslexia-related learning differences that cause difficulty with reading and specific language skills.

For more than 60 years, our mission has remained remarkably focused: build a solid foundation for dyslexic students and develop their rich potential. Our strategy to accomplish this goal is the focused, accelerated remediation of dyslexia using the highly effective Schenck School Reading Model designed from the Orton-Gillingham Approach.

While reading and writing are central to our curriculum, The Schenck School offers a comprehensive educational program for kindergarten through sixth grade to help students develop intellectually and prepare them to thrive in school and in life.
