Girls Thrive Here
Girls with ADHD and related challenges are often overlooked, misunderstood, or expected to “mask” their struggles in traditional school settings. At The Craig School, girls are not asked to fit a mold. They are supported as capable learners who need the right environment to thrive.
"This school understands and supports neurodivergent girls, who are so often overlooked or misunderstood in traditional settings."
Heather S. Miethe-Wong, TCS Parent
Why Girls Often Struggle in Traditional Schools
- ADHD presents differently in girls
- Anxiety, perfectionism, social pressure, masking
- Quiet struggles are often missed
- Behavior systems often reward compliance, not regulation
What's Different at TCS
Seen, Not Overlooked
Girls are recognized for who they are, not who they are expected to be. Strengths are noticed early, and challenges are met with understanding.
Support, Not Shame
Expectations are clear, and support is steady. Mistakes are treated as part of learning, not something to be punished or hidden.
Confidence
Students learn how to speak up, ask for what they need, and trust their own voice in academic and social settings.
Real Relationships
Low student-to-adult ratios allow for meaningful relationships, personalized attention, and support that happens in the moment.
Regulation Built-In
Movement, breaks, and calming strategies are part of daily life. Regulation is normalized so students can stay engaged and available to learn.
Real Time Social Learning
Social skills are practiced throughout the day with guidance and feedback, not isolated into a single lesson or program.
"In a small classroom environment, my daughter is seen for who she truly is. Her strengths are recognized, her challenges are met with patience, and her voice matters."
Heather S. Miethe-Wong, TCS Parent
Designed With Girls in Mind
From classroom dynamics to social-emotional support, this school recognizes how girls experience learning, regulation, and peer relationships differently.
