Learning Differences
For over 30 years, The Winston School San Antonio has provided a life-changing experience for students in grades K-12 with learning differences. We offer a college preparatory education to students who are unable to excel in a traditional learning environment.
One in seven Americans has some type of learning difference, according to the National Institutes of Health. A learning difference is a neurological disorder that affects people’s ability to either interpret what they see and hear or to link information from different parts of the brain.
Disparities in learning abilities affect each person differently, and disorders can range from mild to severe. People with learning differences may have difficulty with reading (dyslexia), writing (dysgraphia), math (dyscalculia), language and reading comprehension (dysphasia), memory, logic, and reasoning, or organizing information.
Additionally, approximately one-third of persons with learning differences also have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), which makes it difficult to concentrate or to stay focused on specific tasks.
We invite you to come take a tour to see if Winston is for your child! Please contact our Admissions Team for more information by submitting a new student inquiry or calling 210-615-6544.
Here is some additional information we may ask:
Has your child had any formal testing done for learning differences?
Has your child been diagnosed with Dyslexia, ADHD, Dysgraphia, etc.?
Does your child have accommodations in place at the school they currently attend?
Can you provide copies of any testing and/or evaluations for review?
