At Arrowsmith School, our goal is for our students to become independent, confident, and self-directed learners who are equipped to achieve academic, career and life success.
If you are looking for accommodations or modified expectations - “work arounds” – that’s not Arrowsmith.
The brain’s ability to change and our understanding of the principles of neuroplasticity is what allows Arrowsmith to change brains and transform lives.
Arrowsmith’s Cognitive Exercises, tapping into the brain's neuroplastic nature, strengthen neural pathways changing our students’ ability to learn to read, write, do math, comprehend, reason, think critically, be empathetic and engage in meaningful ways.
By addressing the source of the difficulty, our students improve their ability to perform complex tasks. Students are able to redefine their future, living with greater independence, confidence, and sense of accomplishment. Healthy self-confidence based on real-world competence develops.
Arrowsmith has the neuroplasticity of the brain and our students’ lifelong successes at the forefront of our program.
Unique to Arrowsmith School is the fact that we aren’t looking to keep our students for a long time – just the time required to improve our students’ cognitive functions and their ability to navigate the world with greater confidence, independence and success.
Our goal is to facilitate the cognitive changes required for future success and to support students’ transition to life beyond Arrowsmith.
Students who have had an Arrowsmith Cognitive Assessment completed are provided with an estimated program length based on their specific assessment results. Progress is monitored and assessed, allowing us to provide updates on the cognitive functions addressed through the programmed exercises.
