A School Designed for Students with ADHD

Bright students with ADHD often struggle in traditional classrooms.

The Craig School provides the structure, support, and instruction that helps students learn, regulate, and succeed.

Presenting to students-1

When School Isn’t Working for Your Child

Many students with ADHD are intelligent, curious, and capable, yet traditional classrooms can make learning unnecessarily difficult.

Parents often notice patterns such as:

  • Difficulty sustaining attention during independent work
  • Trouble organizing assignments or managing time
  • Frustration that leads to shutdown or avoidance
  • Social challenges with peers
  • Increasing anxiety or declining confidence in school

When these patterns continue, students may begin to believe that they are “bad at school,” when in reality they need a learning environment designed for how they think and learn.

A School Built for How Students With ADHD Learn

At The Craig School, support for attention and executive functioning is built directly into the school day.

Students benefit from:

Small Structured Classrooms

Teachers can provide immediate guidance and feedback.

Integrated Behavioral Support

Trained behavioral staff work alongside teachers to help students remain regulated and engaged.

Executive Functioning Support

Students learn strategies for planning, organization, and task completion.

Daily Social Skills Instruction

Students practice communication, flexibility, and peer interaction in structured settings.

This integrated approach allows students to stay connected to learning while building the skills they need for independence.

Designed for Students in Grades 3–8

The Craig School serves students during the critical developmental years when academic confidence and social identity are still forming.

Our program includes:

  • California standards-aligned academic instruction
  • Small classroom environments
  • Behavioral and emotional regulation support
  • Social skills and communication classes

Students often arrive feeling discouraged about school.

Over time, they begin to experience success, confidence, and belonging.
