Serving the needs of Atlanta students with dyslexia, the Schenck School is one of Chastain Park's special education centers.
Combining its lesson plans with the Orton-Gillingham approach to phonetic instruction, this kindergarten to sixth grade school works to help students with dyslexia overcome specific challenges. By keeping up consistent work in math, social studies, science, and physical education, the Schenck School helps students transition to mainstream schools.
The school also sponsors a one-on-one tutoring program at no charge to children with reading difficulties. The school also hosts several charitable events that students are encouraged to participate in, including Dyslexia Dash, Founder's Day, BAMfest, and Field Day.
With dual accreditation from Southern Association of Independent Schools and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, Schenck School strives to not only give its students the tools with which they can grow beyond their disability but also fit in with their fellow students after leaving the school behind.

I cannot say enough about The Schenck School. What a lifesaver it was for us, and our daughter. From the first meeting, to welcome reception, to the supportive learning environment for our child. They embrace everyone's differences, and celebrate the one common trait - dyslexia. The education and su...

This is the best school around! The only problem is you have to be dyslexic to attend. My daughter has thrived and blossemed under the great administration and caring, dedicated teachers here. She couldn't read going into 2nd grade at public school however she was considered an above average student...

My son had been passed through grade after grade at our public elementary school. I found it increasingly alarming that in 2nd grade he could barely read, and much worse was not able to write something I could read! He came to the Schenck School in 3rd grade. This year (4th) will be his last. We hav...
