A Few Spots are Left!

Our school still has a handful of seats available for next year! We're looking to fill them so students can get an education that best suits their needs.

Our school office closes for the summer on June 26th, so if you, or a friend, are looking to enroll a student, please contact us ASAP!

What Is the Orton-Gillingham Approach, and Why Does the Depaul School Use It?

This approach is designed for students who have difficulties with reading, writing, and spelling. It works especially well with dyslexic students, who may not learn in the same way and pace as a non-dyslexic student.
