We welcome bright students in grades 1 to 12 with learning differences, particularly in reading (dyslexia), writing (dysgraphia), math (dyscalculia), ADHD, executive functioning, memory (long-term and working), and processing speed challenges. A Quaker school, we recognize and honor the inherent worth of all. This philosophy underlies all we do to help students discover and optimize their strengths and celebrate their differences. 98% of DVFriends graduates choose to attend colleges and universities, top art and culinary schools and technical institutes.
