About Us
read moreWalbridge School provides an individualized education program that teaches students with learning differences by teaching to their strengths not their weaknesses. Walbridge is a small school environment where students more fully realize their academic, emotional, and social learning potential. Walbridge School was founded in 1986 by a group of parents and educators with children who had not thrived in their previous schools where they were receiving special education services. The founders and staff developed teaching strategies and curriculum, using the best practices from schools around the country that centered on individualized instruction, multi-sensory teaching, and the use of the Orton-Gillingham approach for reading instruction.

Parent participation is necessary to make our educational experience be the best possible. Given the small staff that is commensurate with our desired low enrollment, parents provide leadership for many of our co-curricular and special academic opportunities, under the guidance of faculty and staff. Walbridge has a very active PTO and many school functions are planned and coordinated by parents.
