The Pilot Difference
The Pilot School has a deep commitment to children with learning differences. Each child is valued as an individual, and attention is given to that child’s unique academic, social, and physical needs. We specialize in educating students ages 5-14, helping them improve their reading, writing, spelling, mathematics, speaking, and listening skills. With a 5:1 student to teacher ratio, Pilot is able to address the specific learning profile of every child in our program.
“Pilot didn’t just teach our daughter to read. It gave her confidence.” — Pilot Parent
Our Students
At Pilot, we program for students with a range of learning profiles. As such, no two students’ schedules are exactly the same. We believe it is more beneficial for students to be placed in a learning division that best fits their academic skills rather than a specific grade based solely on their age. Check out our three divisions below and see what a day in each student’s life looks like at The Pilot School!
Lower Division
Students who are learning to learn, creating foundational skills, building capacity, gaining confidence, and self-regulating.
“I cannot say enough about what The Pilot School has done for our family! The faculty and staff have given our son the gift of endless possibilities. He is confident in his abilities, understanding who he is as a learner and how his “gifts” can be utilized to make the world a better place. He is developing skills and strategies to advocate for himself, in and out of the classroom. He continues to thank us every day for making the choice to send him to Pilot, saying “he found his people; he found his place”. Our family found a “home” at Pilot not just because we have commonalities with our wonderful children, but because we all have chosen to become advocates for a community of learners who needed the opportunity to unlock their potential. I am forever grateful for The Pilot School! – Pilot Parent
Middle Division
Students who are building upon foundation, gaining independence, transferring skills upward and across disciplines, growing confidence, and becoming comfortable with identity and advocacy.
“Our transition to Pilot occurred after our daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia. In a class of over 25 students, she was experiencing struggles at school and felt defeated daily. Even with an IEP, she only received 1 hour of specialized instruction each week. Upon arriving at Pilot in December, our daughter began looking forward to going to school each day. Her single-digit percentile scores in reading comprehension jumped to the fiftieth percentile by the end of May. Her teachers meet weekly to assess her strengths and struggles. Our open and ongoing communication with them has helped her move forward. We could not be happier that our daughter is finally in a school where she can thrive.” Anne J., Pilot parent
Upper Division
Students who are practicing self-advocacy, independently applying strategies to increasingly complex school work, and establishing confident self-identity.
“Our experience since our son started at The Pilot School has been life changing. His growth academically, the confidence he exudes and his overall happiness is a direct result of the caring and nurturing environment provided by his team of incredible teachers and therapists. As a parent, all we want is for our son to feel safe, supported and empowered to become the very best version of himself. The Pilot School has given him all that and more.” – Sarah L., Pilot Parent
