Shelton School & Evaluation Center

The Shelton School & Evaluation Center is the largest independent school for children with learning differences, such as dyslexia, ADHD, and dysgraphia.

Shelton empowers Early Childhood through twelfth-grade students with its unique multisensory learning methods. These methods not only help students better grasp challenging concepts but also build confidence and self-advocacy skills, enabling them to thrive academically and socially.

Shelton’s teachers are highly trained, with specific expertise and experience in teaching students with learning differences. Of the 282 faculty and staff, more than half hold advanced degrees. Shelton’s bundled services include an Evaluation Center, an Outreach Teacher Training Center, and a Speech and Language Center.

The Shelton Scholars program provides support to learning-different students who have experienced difficulty in the traditional classroom and who do not attend Shelton during the school day. The program is available on Saturdays and through a summer morning program.

In addition, Summer, the Shelton Way offers a variety of academic and enrichment programs.
