Our teaching approach
is based on the Orton-Gillingham method, tailored to meet each
student's needs.
The Orton-Gillingham approach is widely recognized as the
leading method of teaching children with language-based learning
differences. In addition we offer Lindamood-Bell
Learning Processes as part of our program. Lindamood-Bell
has pioneered programs to develop the sensory-cognitive processes
that underlie reading, spelling, math, visual-motor skills,
language comprehension, and critical thinking. Wilson
Language Program is also an integral component of our program. The
Wilson Reading System is a research-based program designed
for individuals who have difficulty with written language
in the areas of decoding and spelling. The instruction is
also highly successful with students who have been unable
to learn decoding and encoding through traditional methods
or other phonics programs. All language specialists are formally
trained in all three methods.
Cambridge is a
small school where teaching, learning, and personal
relationships are paramount. Our curriculum provides for the
development of specific academic skills, builds a foundation of
knowledge on those skills, and stimulates intellectual
curiosity.
We provide a
multi-sensory, whole-child approach to education in a
non-clinical, nurturing, traditional school environment. We
promise our students opportunities to explore their interests,
feel confident in their abilities, believe in their own worth,
and develop the skills necessary to achieve success.
