The Banyan School was founded in 1993 to educate elementary and middle school students with learning differences. The curriculum reflects the needs of every student, the beliefs of the staff and the values of the entire Banyan School community.
Students at Banyan School learn that education is the process of living. They discover that their lives are connected to a larger world, a world that requires a relationship to community. Families, administrators and staff members work together to develop programs that educate the whole child. Students are presented with multi-sensory opportunities that build confidence and address learning challenges. In addition, a strong social skills program provides for the emotional and psychological needs of all students.
Recognizing that each student has an individual learning style, students are taught compensatory strategies that will insure academic success. Programming is monitored on a daily basis with consideration to changing educational and social needs. Athletic teams, Saturday school and in-school club activities provide students with additional opportunities that build self-esteem and independence.
Banyan School empowers students to believe in themselves, to dream about the future and to achieve the skills necessary for success.
