Home | Wyncote Academy: A Licenced 6-12 Special Education Private School



Wyncote Academy continues to be a blessing to our family. My son started his academic career in the public school system. We knew that he had difficulty reading. Initially, a private evaluation stated that his difficulties probably were due to being an English as Second Language student. Numerous IEPs proved to be unsuccessful. I made my son a promise that I'd find the key that would unlock the door to the way he learned. My son was diagnosed as having severe dyslexia. I was able to keep my promise to my son by enrolling him in Wyncote Academy. Wyncote Academy has an excellent Wilson Reading Program. The Head of School, as well as all of the teachers are dedicated to the students and are excellent representatives of their profession.

AS POSTED IN "PRIVATE SCHOOL REVIEW"

Wyncote Academy is dedicated to providing a dynamic educational environment in which:

Unique individuals and their abilities are respected and valued.
Academic growth is stimulated and nourished through a variety of experiences, both in and out of the classroom.
Every student can experience success.
Goals are set with recognition of and regard for individual style and pace.
Students are encouraged to value and challange their own ideas and abilities, and to trust their own judgment.
All are inspired to become lifelong learners and contributing members of society.

Wyncote promotes authentic learning and meaningful connections between students and faculty. We provide a wide range of academic, social, and emotional supports to help students flourish. When students come to Wyncote with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), we maintain and abide by them becuase we believe it is best practice. Wyncote has Special Eduction faculty, staff and programming to support your child.

So much of current educational practice focuses on addressing what's wrong with students and what needs to be fixed. While addressing deficits is important, we believe that true learning begins with the recognition of one's talents and strengths. Building upon these personal traits is the starting point for authentic education and meaningful connection with others. This strengths-based approach defines the Wyncote Academy experience.
