College Prep Boarding Schools for Bright Kids with Learning Challenges

Saturday, November 3, 2012, 10:00am – Noon 

A moderated discussion with Directors of Admission from five top college preparatory boarding schools with integral learning skills programs.

At these schools, students with learning differences – ADHD, Executive Function Deficits or Language-based Learning Disabilities, for example – have structured supports built into their regular academic programs, not offered only as add-ons or pull-outs. Using representative case studies, the panelists will describe how their schools meet the needs of bright students who benefit from support. A question and answer period will follow the presentation.

Moderators: NESCA Director Dr. Ann Helmus along with Carol Kinlan and Faith Howland of Howland, Spence & McMillan, Boston educational consultants.

BREWSTER ACADEMY, Wolfeboro, NH - Margaret Martin

CUSHING ACADEMY, Ashburnham, MA – Deb Gustafson
