The Carroll School is dedicated to meeting the educational needs of children diagnosed with primary language learning disabilities, and to supporting the constituencies that serve them. Carroll seeks a culturally, ethnically, and economically diverse population and is an active public champion for persons with learning disabilities.

To fulfill its mission, The Carroll School:

offers an academic program designed to serve a population of students diagnosed as having a language learning disability such as dyslexia, of average to superior intelligence, and with no primary emotional problems;

provides diagnostic, intensive and highly structured instruction in a fully enriched program;

fosters self-confidence and a willingness to take responsibility for being active learners;

prepares students to enter other academic settings and to advocate for themselves in a life of learning.

Additionally, The Carroll School and The Carroll Center for Teaching and Learning reach outside the student environment through research projects, professional associations, programs of parental support, and teacher-training. Consistent with the lifelong nature of learning, Carroll seeks enduring relationships with all of its constituencies.
