Pinnacle School students are given daily opportunities to develop needed skills, and to reinforce these through practice and application. Our faculty members have expertise in multiple subject areas, including specialized and clinically-proven language approaches (like Orton-Gillingham, Kurzweil and others) to help students develop the tools and strategies to learn to read, spell, comprehend text, and write.

We work to build on the innate talents and interests of our students. Students progress at the pace that is right for them. For example, they may join a more advanced math class when they are ready to do so. Challenging students in a variety of subject areas and providing a range of experiences allows them the opportunity to develop in all of Gardner's eight intelligences.

Pinnacle School first began serving families as the Bloomington dePaul School in 1981. This year, we are proud to celebrate our silver anniversary of teaching success. Many Pinnacle graduates go on to higher education and to pursue careers in science, technology, business, the arts, and more.
