The Windward School is a coeducational, independent day school focused on teaching students in grades 1-9 with language-based learning disabilities with campuses in Westchester and Manhattan.[1] Windward is recognized across the country and around the world as a leader in providing instruction to children with dyslexia[2] and is listed among the best schools in the New York City area.[3]
The school uses the Preventing Academic Failure (PAF) reading program developed by Phyllis Bertin and Eileen Perlman, which focuses on reading, spelling and handwriting using Orton-Gillingham instruction (multisensory method developed to teach reading to children with dyslexia). Scholarships are available for students whose families cannot afford to pay the $66,900-a-year tuition. [4]
