Our admissions process is designed to work in partnership with you to determine whether your student will benefit from the program we provide. In addition, it allows us the opportunity to get to know your student and family. Based on the information we receive through each step of our admissions process, we are able to determine if our program will adequately meet the needs of your student and empower them to reach their full potential.
The Fletcher School accepts students in Grades Kindergarten - 12 with a primary diagnosis of a language-based learning difference such as dyslexia. In Grades 6 - 12, a diagnosis of ADHD without a language-based learning difference will also be considered where the student’s executive functioning skills or attention difficulties compromise the ability to learn or perform academically. An applicant’s cognitive ability (Full Scale Intelligence Quotient determined by a psychologist) must fall in the average to superior range. Our program requires that students have the intellectual ability to acquire information and move forward in our curriculum.
ADMISSIONS PROCESS 2023-2024:
- Online Inquiry
