Breakthrough Learning...Begins with seeing your child.
Did you know a person with Dyslexia typically has the ability to see the bigger picture more easily? When you think about someone with ADHD, do you look at them and notice how hyper-focused and amazing they are when they work on the things they love? Would you have guessed that a student with Dyscalculia can become a mathematician or a scientist? Join us in growing each child's gifts and abilities as out-of-the-box thinkers to solve the problems of tomorrow.
Our Vision:
My City School’s mission is to reimagine education for all learners by challenging outdated classroom models and demonstrating what is truly possible. For more than 14 years, we have empowered educators and parents through training while advancing an integrated, level-based curriculum that gives every student access to meaningful learning and does not put a ceiling on learner strengths. We challenge traditional assumptions about learning differences and are raising the standard for inclusive, effective education far beyond our own school community - because every child is entitled to a transformational education.
Our Mission:
Provide each child with the academic, social-emotional, and life skill resources they need to keep future doors open for high school and higher education they choose.
Our Philosophy:
We see the potential and the unlocked gifts in each of our students and believe that when these are allowed to grow in the right environments, children will blossom into who they want to be and will thrive.
- Recognize students for their strengths and gifts
- Provide ample opportunities to learn through guided discovery, project-based learning, and meaningful experiences
- Create opportunities for verbal expression: peer-to-peer, peer-to-teacher, group, debate, social-emotional
- Provide high-quality instruction to strengthen underlying weaknesses
- Over time, develop academic abilities to perform with neurotypical peers
- Accommodate with individualized and realistic supports that will transfer to other learning environments
