Lab School of Washington

For 45 years, The Lab School of Washington has been providing an exceptional, college-preparatory academic experience for bright students (grades 1-12) with ADHD, dyslexia, and other learning disabilities.

Our innovative, arts-infused curriculum is experiential and multi-sensory, helping young people to overcome difficulties with reading, spelling, writing, and math, while preparing them for a rewarding range of college and career choices.

Challenge, revelation, collaboration, reflection, revision, production: these are crucial ingredients in Lab Schools approach to education _ the same steps with which visual artists and performers approach their art. Using art as a gateway to rigorous academics, we recognize our students potential, identify their strengths, approach their differences as advantages, and reveal the tangible ways in which their unorthodox approach to learning positions them for the demands of our 21st-century society.
