Our Purpose

To assess, remediate and return the dyslexic student to an on-going educational system.

About dePaul School

The dePaul School was established in 1970 to provide an educational facility for those students who are recognized to have the specific learning disability known as dyslexia.  A full-time school curriculum is provided for these students with the expressed intention of returning them as quickly as possible to the ongoing educational system - be that public, private, or parochial.  We make no promises as to the rate of achievement of our students.  In an environment structured to these real needs, they move as rapidly as possible.  Some students have needed only a year of specialized instruction;  most students have required more than that.

The dePaul School for Dyslexia, Inc. began January 15, 1983 with 24 students as a Saturday program, 24 volunteer tutors, 4 auditory teachers, 2 supervisors, and 5 adult assistants were involved.

The depaul School is committed to the belief that its students must be provided with a strongly structured academic program and an environment which stresses the dignity, worth, and responsibility of each individual both for self and others.

The rules at The dePaul School are designed to put this philosophy into action for the good of all students, and we urge all parents to carefully review and adhere to this philosophy.

".....I so appreciate the love and concern you have for my nephew.  I see great progress in him and I truly believe that his time with at dePaul will help unlock the door to his future!"
