The Greenwood School is a 'Bright Underachiever' or STRUGGLING ACHIEVER
Greenwood is perfect for the student who is clearly bright and capable but has become frustrated, discouraged, or anxious in a traditional classroom. If a student has started to believe they "aren't smart" because they can't keep up with standard reading and writing loads, they will thrive in Greenwood’s supportive atmosphere.
A STUDENT WHO NEEDS AN EDUCATION RESET
Because the school is small and nurturing, it suits boys who need to rebuild their academic self-esteem. A good candidate is someone willing to engage with a community where everyone else is facing similar hurdles, thereby removing the "stigma" of needing extra help.
THE ACTIVE LEARNER
Greenwood’s 100-acre campus allows for outdoor activities and hands-on learning. A student who enjoys a more tactile, active lifestyle, and not a student who is successful sitting at a desk for hours. Including the outdoors, Multisensory Academic Remediation uses research-based methods such as Orton-Gillingham, Lindamood-Bell, and Wilson Language to "rewire" how students process language and math.
