Our Mission
dePaul School's mission is to teach students with dyslexia and other specific learning differences how to learn.
dePaul students are unique individuals, each with his/her own distinctive strengths and difficulties, but share several key attributes.
Our students
They are intelligent and inquisitive and process some types of information differently than most students.


In the conventional classroom, their specific learning differences lead to frustration, and often failure, in one or more academic areas, such as, decoding, spelling, mathematics, reading comprehension, and/or organizational skills.


They thrive within a challenging academic setting designed for students with learning differences.

Our Task
In teaching our students how to learn, our responsibility is three-fold:
Students must be taught the knowledge and skills of each academic area, including social skills, in ways that empower our students to learn and to succeed in life.


We must lead our students to learn about their own learning, including what approaches are most successful and how to take advantage of their strengths and cope with chronic difficulties.


We must also teach “student skills” including organization, study skills, test taking, note taking, and textbook skills. These skills will help our students gain independence in their learning.
