Welcome from our Head of School!

Over 36 years ago, a small group of parents banded together with one goal... to create an educational institution that would give their children with dyslexia the education they deserved. They formed what is now The Prentice School.

Today, that small school is now a 6.6 acre campus with over 25 classrooms serving over 146 students through 8th grade.

Our goal is still the same. To teach students with language-based learning differences and co-occurring conditions (like ADHD) that they are creative, intelligent and capable of becoming our future leaders. That they can succeed beyond their wildest dreams.

I am so excited that you're considering becoming a member of the Prentice family and look forward to meeting you and your student soon.

Devon Green, Head of School

Professional Accolades

The Prentice School has been named on a special list of "Highly Recommended" schools in the nation for students with dyslexia by Sally E. Shaywitz, M.D., Co-Director, Yale Center for Dyslexia & Creativity, in her book "Overcoming Dyslexia (Knopf, 2020).

Shaywitz describes The Prentice School as a school where our student's “…educational need serves as the central focus of the school’s instructional program rather than being incidental or peripheral to it.”
