What does "school" mean for your child? As your child's parent, what does "school" mean to you?
Students with learning differences commonly associate "school" with words and feelings which are negative. And who can blame them? School is not easy... nor is it enjoyable... for students who read poorly, or who cannot organize their thoughts onto paper, or who are often in trouble because they can't pay attention. School is a place of stress, confusion, and repeated defeat.
For parents of these bright but challenged students, "school" is no less difficult; it is agonizing and worrisome for parents, too. Missing assignments, chaotic evenings, and homework wars are too-frequent events. Your child is falling farther and farther behind and "feels different" from the other children. A mom or dad begins to feel overwhelmed and doubtful. What's a parent to do? Where does a parent turn after yet one more year of frustration?
If your child's school experience has not been as positive as you know it should be... if your child is not reaching his or her academic and personal potential... if this year has yet again been another unsuccessful one... your family may benefit from The de Paul Difference. Families who have found our school have been where you are now; equally importantly, our teachers know what your children are experiencing now. We are a wonderful school community which can change your family's perception of "school" from night to day. We'll show your child -- and YOU -- what success feels like. Contact our Admissions Office at today or call 459-6131. If you'd like to speak with a parent who understands what you and your child are experiencing now, we have dozens of current and former moms and dads who can reach out to you with their stories.
What does "school" mean for de Paul School parents and students? How do these words sound, as shared at a recent meeting? Confidence. Opportunity. Successful. Belief in my child again. Back on top. Independence. Peace at home. Accomplishment. Got my son back.
