Shelton School & Evaluation Center

Founded in 1976, Shelton School is the largest independent school worldwide for intelligent children who just happen to have a learning difference, e.g. dyslexia, ADHD, dyscalculia.  It serves students in grades Early Childhood through 12. Current enrollment is at some 1,000 students served by a faculty and staff of 260.

Not only a school, Shelton is distinguished by bundled services that include an evaluation center, a speech center, and an outreach/training department and are open year-round. Many faculty members are certified academic language therapists.

Shelton students come from 100 zip codes, a testimony to the school’s core educational approach. Families have moved from out-of-state, even abroad, for their students to attend Shelton. The school offers positive, practical solutions that match the needs of the learning-different student. Its curriculum includes individualized, structured multisensory programs. Many parents say, “Shelton teaches the way my child best learns.”

Shelton’s new 30-acre campus offers superior spaces and amenities for all areas of school life.  Its consolidated campus includes state-of-the-art athletic fields, the Moody Fine Arts Center, STEAM classrooms, Montessori classrooms for younger students, and park-like surrounding grounds. Shelton’s unwavering mission is to cultivate the unique gift and talents of the creative, intelligent, progressive and resilient students it serves.
