Understanding students who learn differently.
At many schools in Jacksonville—and across the country—students who struggle with different aspects of learning or a learning difficulty may be mislabeled or misunderstood. At Greenwood School, we understand that many bright students simply learn differently—and that no one style of teaching suits all.
Since we opened our doors in 1985, we have dedicated our efforts to appreciating, supporting and educating children with dyslexia, long term memory deficit, working memory deficit, ADHD, and students with a learning difficulty that may be hindering their education.
Unique to other schools in Jacksonville, we subscribe to a style of teaching that embraces each student’s individual learning style. Children with dyslexia, for example, learn through hands-on and auditory exercises, while those with working memory deficit might benefit from performing actions instead of listening to lectures. By implementing a variety of teaching styles, Greenwood School strives to ensure that each of our students learns and achieves grade level standards.
If you have a child with a learning difficulty, we encourage you to explore different learning and teaching possibilities.
