What is The Gow School’s educational philosophy, and who does it serve?

The Gow School is a college preparatory day and boarding school for students in grades 6-12 with learning differences, like dyslexia, ADHD, and other similar challenges. The school’s educational philosophy centers around a structured and supportive learning environment that emphasizes individualized instruction, multi-sensory teaching methods, and the development of executive functioning skills. The school aims to empower students to reach their full potential by building on their strengths and providing the tools and strategies necessary to overcome their learning differences. Small class sizes, individualized instruction, and a dedicated faculty create a nurturing atmosphere where students gain confidence and develop a love of learning. Gow’s approach is not about “fixing” learning differences but rather about teaching students how to learn effectively and advocate for themselves.
