Our Mission
To nurture the full potential of bright, capable students who learn differently through a mastery of skills, development of a “toolbox” for lifelong learning and the celebration of the individual strengths of each student. To serve as a resource for students and their families through early intervention, assessment, support services, current information and research, and/or recommendations for alternative educational avenues.
Is This Your Child?
There are several clues that indicate a young child may be at risk for dyslexia. Many young children may exhibit one or two of these behaviors; however, consistent problems with a group of behaviors are a good indicator your child may be at risk: Late Talker, Difficulty with rhyming, Struggling in reading, writing and math and Family History.
An Exceptional Learning Experience
Prentice is the right place for kids that learn differently. A nationally recognized research & standards based multi-sensory approach that works with a caring, nurturing atmosphere, small class size (15 or less per class), large, open air 6+ acre campus and stringent enrollment guidelines.
R.E.A.D. Program
The Reading Education Assistance Dogs Program at The Prentice School improves children's reading and communication skills by employing a very unique and powerful method of learning: reading to a dog. These furry friends are registered therapy animals who volunteer their time serving as reading companions for our students. When these special animals come to hear our students read, it makes reading a fun and enjoyable experience.
Prentice High School
Imagine a learning environment free from distractions, where you can focus on accomplishing YOUR goals. Imagine the ability to decide the terms, structure, and pace of YOUR education. In a partnership with Allied National High School, The Prentice High School Program was established to provide a better alternative. PHS puts YOU in control, offering a hybrid learning atmosphere tailored for your individual needs.
Student Success Stories
Blair Conklin (2009) attended Prentice 1st through 8th grades and is now in his sophomore year at his local high school in Laguna Beach. As early as Kindergarten, Blair began to doubt his abilities. He knew he wasn't able to learn the way his friends were learning and began dreading school. After receiving testing and learning he has dyslexia, his parents enrolled him at Prentice. Since his very first day, he has been greeted with much success.
Student Success Stories
A committed and hard-working youngster, Logan Dooley (2001) tried his best to please his teachers but could not seem to improve his reading and writing skills. When he came to Prentice in the 2nd grade, Logan found a warm and stimulating environment, filled with caring teachers and students much like himself. Today, he is a world renowned gymnast, seeking to win gold at the 2012 Olympics.
