To open September, 2012, focusing on children with reading disabilities in grades 1-5; leverages latest methodologies from research on brain development.

Princeton, NJ, April 2, 2012: The Newgrange School of Princeton, Inc., is opening the Newgrange Independent School at Princeton. This new school targets the population of early learners who show clear signs of dyslexia. This group is underserved by public schools and other venues. The new school will provide a safe, supportive environment for students, and will employ research-based teaching methodologies, including Orton-Gillingham, Wilson Language, and other multi-sensory techniques. A range of creative and assistive technologies will be integrated into the curriculum, such as iMovie, GarageBand, Kurzweil, Inspiration, and Dragon Dictation. This school will complement Newgrange’s other services, which include The Newgrange School in Hamilton, NJ (a state-approved school for students with disabilities), professional development programs, educational evaluations, tutoring and consulting. Newgrange’s Executive Director, Dr. Gordon Sherman, is internationally-recognized for his contributions to the field of brain research, teaching methodologies, and service to the dyslexia community. Newgrange has provided educational services for dyslexics since 1977.

According to Dr. Sherman, the new school will be “a place where children with dyslexia will thrive.”
