A Letter from the Head of School

Welcome to The de Paul School's website! If your family is seeking a school which understands children and learning differences, and which is focused on bolstering both achievement and confidence, I think you may have found a vitally important opportunity.

Anthony R. Kemper Head of School e-mail

Our main hallway features two large signs which read, “Believe in your child. We do!” Our mission is to teach students with learning differences how to learn; how to become independent; and, how to succeed. We believe in that noble mission and have designed an entire school community around it. We believe that intelligent children with learning differences like dyslexia or an attention deficit can – and should – achieve in school.

We believe that our students need a teaching difference. We believe in presenting a calm school, with a high degree of organization which promotes student and teacher successes. We believe in research-supported and time-tested instructional practices which are recognized as "best practice."  We believe in our faculty, a collection of highly trained, exceptionally talented, and keenly observant teachers. We believe that it is our responsibility to truly know our students -- not only by name, but according to individual strengths, needs, and dreams.

At The de Paul School, we believe in placing the student and the students' needs at the heart of every major decision we make. I am convinced that our tradition of being a student-centered school is the reason why we have been so successful for nearly 40 years.

Sincerely,
Anthony R. Kemper
Head of School
