Quality Education for Students with Dyslexia:
Our mission is to empower students with dyslexia by increasing their self-esteem and motivation.

We want to help them to reach their academic potential and to equip them for future success. Kildonan graduates have a 100% college acceptance record.
Kildonan uses a pure Orton-Gillingham approach, which is an instructional approach intended primarily for use with persons who have difficulty with reading, spelling, and writing of the sort associated with dyslexia. Each student receives daily one-to-one Orton-Gillingham tutoring, which complement an innovative, challenging curriculum that inspires students to love learning while preparing for college and beyond. In addition, Kildonan offers small, college-preparatory classes, extensive artistic opportunities, and competitive sports teams.
