Why dePaul
A School Designed for Students Who Learn Differently
We're Excited to Meet You!
Our Admissions Team is looking forward to connecting with you and supporting your search for the right school for your child.
At dePaul, we don’t just support students with dyslexia; we understand them, believe in them, and teach them the way they learn best. If your child is struggling in a traditional setting, we’re here to offer more than a plan. We offer a path forward.
Choosing the right school can be overwhelming, especially when your child’s needs haven’t been met elsewhere. The dePaul School exists for this very reason. Our specialized environment, expert faculty, and whole-child approach provide not just remediation, but affirmation. Here, students are taught differently so they can thrive in school and in life.
What Sets Us Apart
Structured Literacy, Proven Methods
Our teachers are Orton-Gillingham-trained and employ a multisensory, explicit, and systematic approach to instruction.
Social-Emotional Growth is Built In
We believe in the value of each child. Confidence, self-advocacy, and resilience are explicitly taught, not just expected.
Personalized Skill-Based Grouping
Our students are grouped by skill level - not by grade - allowing them the opportunity to progress at the pace that’s right for them.
Focus on Independence
We give students the tools to re-enter mainstream settings feeling stronger, prepared, confident, and ready to thrive.
Exceptionally Small Class Sizes
With just 6–10 students per class, our instruction is targeted, responsive, and focused on the needs of each individual child.
A School That Understands Dyslexia
We’re not aiming for the middle of the class—we’re designed from the ground up for students who learn differently.
