The duration of a student’s time at Churchill depends on the unique learning path of each child. We know families that choose a school specializing in language-based learning frequently re-assess whether or not that school is the right fit. Our school professionals expertly follow each child as they progress, collaborating with one another and with families to provide the right resources for where a child is in their educational experience. Our expertise guides a student and their family toward success, whether that means providing support to find a new learning environment beyond Churchill or continuous enrollment in our intentionally designed, college-preparatory program.

Our program employs the latest innovations in pedagogy in order to create classrooms where our students can learn the content and skills that other environments have prevented them from accessing. Our program adapts to meet the needs of the student, creating solutions that are tailored to their needs, talents, and interests.
We choose not to be limited by a state-defined curriculum that is designed for mainstream education. As an independent school we are, by definition, flexible and nimble, allowing us to teach in the best way for each student.
