Our Approach
“The most important thing to know about Ability School is that it teaches essential basics that will be sustained even after students graduate. The scholarship and knowledge I gained is invaluable, and I will carry it with me throughout my formal education and beyond.”

In compiling its curriculum, Ability School focuses on two factors: strong use of basics and knowledge that can be used by the individual later in life to achieve success.
A firm grasp of the basic subjects of reading, writing, arithmetic, spelling and handwriting sets the foundation for later study and ensures that our students gain a genuine understanding of these subjects.
Ability School uses a very successful reading program developed by Heron Books™ and The Delphian School, an educational facility in Oregon.
The reading program gradually takes its students through increasingly difficult books and areas of knowledge and gives them a greater ease and appreciation of reading, as well as, significantly increasing their ability.
The books are chosen for their constructive content, literary importance and high moral value. The reading program, which is used by many schools around the country, has demonstrated excellent results.
Ability School has a full and rich curriculum including music, creative writing and art and extracurricular activities.
Rather than place a child based on age or time spent on a particular level, Ability School builds individualized programs for each child. Because our students are on individualized programs, we can enroll or advance students throughout the school year at any time.
