Out of the Mouths of Babes

I still find myself getting emotional when new students share their sincere and heartfelt words about dePaul School and how it makes them feel. A young boy told his family after he spent one day here as a shadow student that he loved it, describing it this way "You know how you feel after a long, hard day at work and then you get to come home and you can relax....it feels like that".

Recognizing Expertise

At the dePaul School, our use of evidence-based approaches to reading and learning in the classroom has rightfully earned us the reputation as the local experts in the field of dyslexic education. Now, there is a way to formally recognize that our teachers have the knowledge and skills to teach individuals with dyslexia to read.
