    The New Community School has earned national and local recognition as a leader in the education of students with dyslexia. This has been achieved by combining a stimulating curriculum of college-preparatory academics with intensive, daily and direct instruction in the basics of reading, writing and spelling. The combination of an Orton-Gillingham approach to improve language skills (structured, phonetic, multisensory, diagnostic and prescriptive) and the direct teaching of organizational skills and academic independence lies at the heart of the school's success. The supportive environment of the school also fosters personal growth, well-earned self-confidence and productive citizenship during the critical adolescent years.
