Dear Parents,

Our new Pathways program is designed to facilitate effective learning through strong academics, a low student-teacher ratio, educating the student about his or her own learning style, and creating an instructional environment where students feel safe and competent. Student´s strengths are continually developed, while they receive appropriate academic instruction and curricular accommodations according to their needs. The Pathways program is specially intended for students of above-average IQ who have been diagnosed with mild learning disabilities. All programs are geared towards the student´s integration into our traditional program.

Specifically, our program is designed for students with the following characteristics:

• Average to above–average intellectual ability
• Well-developed reasoning and comprehension skills
• Difficulty decoding, spelling, and writing
• Difficulty processing language
• No emotional, social or behavioral issues

Robinson School, in its quest for educational excellence, has joined forces with the Landmark Outreach Program in order to enhance its Pathways program. The Landmark Outreach Program, which works in conjunction with Landmark School in Massachusetts, is an internationally renowned program in the field of learning disabilities. This program offers comprehensive professional development for teachers working with children who possess language-based learning disabilities.

Since August 2007, Robinson School´s faculty has been participating in workshops and seminars to develop instructional strategies and techniques that will help students learn more effectively, according to their special, individual needs. Our aim is to make the Pathways program stronger through a learner-centered curriculum and a systematic, skills based, content teaching that will empower students to discover new and exciting ways to learn and reach their own potential.

We invite you to visit Robinson School to learn more about this special program.

Sincerely,
