Are we the right fit?
The Craig School was built from the ground up for students with ADHD and/or autism with executive functioning deficits. Our program is specifically designed to elevate students whose potential is unrealized.
Many of our students have experienced bullying, anxiety, and low self-esteem in a traditional school environment. They are burnt out and ready for something new. Our school was designed for them.
While our team is capable of serving many different learning profiles, we focus on a specific fit in our admissions process.
Most importantly, your child must be able to function with independence in a classroom with up to 15 students. Children with a full-time 1:1 aide are better served in settings built for their specific needs.
Strong matches for our program are:
Capable but inconsistent
Working too hard just to get through the day
Ready for a different environment
What needs to be true.
TCS serves students who can participate in a small classroom community and benefit from direct teaching, routings, movement, and in-the-moment coaching.
- Can learn in a small group
- Can build independence with support
- Needs a school day designed for practice, not perfection.
When the environment fits, more becomes possible.
They Participate.
They join in, contribute, and engage in learning.
They Recover.
They move through challenges with greater confidence.
They Connect.
They build genuine relationships with peers and adults.
They Advocate.
They understand their needs and speak up for what helps.
Upfront admissions is part of the model.
TCS is a school, not a clinical program. Some students need a level of individualized or therapeutic support that we do not provide. We will tell you that clearly.
While we would love to offer enrollment to every student we meet, our primary goal is in the best interest of your child, whether or not that decision is TCS.

Let's talk about your child.
The best way to determine whether The Craig School is the right fit is a conversation. We'll learn about your child, answer your questions, and help you decide whether our program aligns with your family's needs.
