About This Cause
The Fletcher School Where Performance Meets Potential... For over 30 years, The Fletcher School has created bright futures for students with specific learning differences and/or attention deficit disorders. We are an independent, K-12 school offering a college-preparatory curriculum. Our bright, talented, and often gifted students learn in small, structured classes with a 6:1 student-to-teacher ratio. Our comprehensive program is designed to build the academic, social, and emotional competence of our students. Utilizing the Orton-Gillingham approach to teaching, instruction is sequential, cumulative, and repetitious in order for students to achieve mastery. Individual and prescriptive plans of instruction are developed for each student. Multisensory learning techniques are employed and school-issued, 1:1 Apple® devices support 21st-century learning and enhance students’ organizational skills. Applicants are considered for admission based on documentation of average or above-average intelligence, difficulty in one or more academic areas or learning processes, and an LD and/or ADHD diagnosis. Evidence that learning disabilities are not the result of primary emotional or behavioral problems is required. The Rankin Institute was created in 2004 as the outreach component of The Fletcher School to provide education and resources to teachers, professionals, and parents beyond those directly involved with the academic programs at Fletcher. The Institute strives to improve the quality of services and educational experiences of students with learning disabilities and attention deficits by training teachers and other professionals in the latest methodology and practices in the field of exceptional children. It supports families by providing education and practical techniques for understanding and parenting their LD children. In a typical year, The Rankin Institute offers 75 seminars to parents and professionals. It is regarded as a valuable resource by many in the community. With over 3,000 people educated by The Rankin Institute, the number of struggling children who are being helped is increasing exponentially. The Fletcher School is a 501(c)3 non-profit governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees which includes current and former parents, professionals, and community members.
