The Fletcher Advantage
Individualized & Multisensory
- Small class sizes with an average 6:1 student-teacher ratio enable deep personalization at every grade level.
- Multisensory lessons give students multiple pathways to connect with concepts and build lasting skills.
College Preparatory
- Our full-time college counselor guides families and students through the college admission and accommodations processes.

Orton-Gillingham Expertise
- 100% of Fletcher’s teachers are trained in the Orton-Gillingham Approach—the gold standard for language-based learning and instruction.
- Fletcher’s Orton-Gillingham Approach differs from typical learning support programs because each lesson is individualized to meet each student’s unique learning profile.
Executive Skills Development
- For students with learning differences, strong executive functioning skills—like organization, time management, and planning—are essential to overcoming challenges and achieving their goals.
- At Fletcher, these skills, and more, are built into the school day and explicitly taught, preparing students to excel now and long after graduation.
