Learning Differently at Barnstable

If you’re searching for a private day school for a student with learning differences that will satisfy all of his or her academic needs, you’ve found that school. Barnstable Academy is dedicated to admitting bright and talented students who simply learn differently.

Some of our students have different scheduling needs due to a professional performing arts career. Others may have gotten lost in the large public school system and simply need a smaller, more individualized learning environment. Some students require more personalized attention and skill-building due to attention difficulties (students with ADHD/ students with ADD/ frequently asked questions we receive about ADHD ), poor organization and executive functioning deficits, or lackluster social skills.

Barnstable offers a nurturing and flexible environment which allows us to accommodate the varying needs of all of these students.

Beyond helping our students build upon their natural talents, our ultimate goal at Barnstable Academy is to provide them with the opportunity to gain acceptance into an appropriate college, community college, junior college, or post-high school tech program.

Individualized Education

We have found that most children with learning differences respond better academically and socially to smaller class sizes. Our average class has 10 students, which allows us to individualize each student’s educational goals. The small class size also allows the faculty to provide individual attention and a nurturing, safe environment for all students.

Unique Educational Approach

Our unique educational approach also includes flexible scheduling and additional support programs to enable our students to gain valuable confidence and skills. Some additional support programs offered are:

• Study skills
• Organizational skills
• Social skills
• Time management skills
• Skills remediation
• Daily extra faculty assistance
• Extra Science, Math, and English workshops
