Independent School for Learning Disabilities
At The Craig School, everything centers on three things: engagement, structured language, and collaboration — so students who learn differently can thrive.
Independent. Purposeful. Life-Changing.
The Craig School was founded as an independent school in 1980 with one purpose: to serve children with learning disabilities — specifically the kind that make decoding, reading comprehension, and written expression a daily struggle. For more than four decades, we've stayed devoted to that founding mission.
Students Who Are Ready to Achieve
With the right intervention and the right school setting, our students don't just meet traditional academic benchmarks — they're capable of exceeding them.
Beginning in 2nd grade and continuing through graduation, Craig provides a full continuum of support.Craig School Prepares Students for Life
Our research-based program, tailored to students with learning disabilities, creates lasting impact in three key areas.
Relationships
Craig students go on to thrive in whatever comes next, equipped with the academic skills and self-advocacy tools our program builds.
Academics
A strength-based education builds confidence and resilience — the foundation every student needs to pursue a meaningful, successful path.

Real families. Real transformation. The Craig School difference in their own words.
We are halfway through our first year at Craig School and our sixth grader couldn't be more happy, confident, or secure. She has expressed that she feels understood and that Craig School was made for her. There is no greater joy as a parent than to see your child thrive rather than shrink in the shadows of their teachers and peers.
The Craig School has changed Evan's life — we cannot thank you enough. Each one of your teachers is fabulous! I think you know who our favorites are. The growth we have seen in him as a learner and as a person has been nothing short of remarkable.
I am in awe at how hard all of you have worked to make this school experience as close to in-person as possible. Thank you to everyone at Craig. I cannot say enough about how this has been a positive experience in spite of the challenges around us.
