The Lewis School is a place where kids who have learning differences can strive. However, you need to be very proactive and on Mrs. Lewis's case to move you child along. Communication is horrible, she is never available to meet and has more excuses for doing things than reasons wheny things should be done. The upper schhol standards are a joke. Two years to do advanced Algebra and two years to complete Chemistry is un heard. There are no computer and technology classes as Mr.s Lewis does not beleive in them, For 32K a year you wind up doing most fo the work to move your child along. Try Pennington, your child will get what they need in a more challenging and open environment.
I thought this school would be the light we needed for my daughter, and yes they have gotten her to read much better. But going into her 3rd year at Lewis. They were still leaving her at the same level and did not move her up till we insisted. In the lower levels she was bord and they still insisted they were right. At 30 gran a year, I really think this was a dissevice to my child.
As a parent with 3 kids I have been through the ups and downs of public and private schools. This school has helped my child with learning differences succeed but only succeed to a Lewis School standard. When my child re-entered his regular school district going into high school I found that he was extremely unprepared.
The school's curriculum is fantastic and has already significantly helped our dyslexic child in just the first half of the school year. The teachers are caring, knowledgeable, and fair. As important, there are MANY extra curricular activities for the children including art, music, sports (soccer, basketball, cross country, swimming, etc). These extra curricular activities help round out these wonderful children and give them a sense of accomplishment and being part of a team. Our experience has resulted in an academically stronger, emotionally stronger, and happier child.
The Lewis School is the best place for educating learning different students. The 30 year history of educational programs they implement stands on its own.
The academic progrmas at The Lewis School/Clinic in Princeton, NJ are insufficient and do not prepare the high school students for college as promised. Most of the techniques they use are useless and not helpful. There are no music courses availiable and limited art courses to choose from. There are not too many extracurricular activities if any at all. There is little parent involvment within the school. There is no discipline action taken if there are problems in the school. Everyone only gets a phone call home and nothing else is done. I know this because my child went there and it did not help him at all. The tuition costed about 30 grand a year.
Private not for profit school for children with dyslexia and related learning difficulties. We have 2 kids there, ages 8 & 12. The difference has been astounding. From struggling in the local school district, which has an excellent reputation, they are both fulfilling their undoubted potential. The teaching methods and dedication of the staff are amazing. If your child has learning problems, I highly recommend this school.
