The Lewis School of Princeton

The Lewis School of Princeton and The Lewis Clinic for Educational Therapy was founded by Marsha Lewis in 1973 as a small tutorial school and educational diagnostic facility at a time when many educators flatly denied the existence of dyslexia or failed to recognize the potential among bright students whose diverse learning styles were unlike those of the majority of their peers. The Lewis School is nationally renowned for its pioneering development and successful implementation of a new kind of educational model - "individualized, curriculum-wide, integrated multisensory teaching and learning" and is highly respected for its early recognition and validation of the gifts and talents often overlooked among learning different children. The Lewis School is also widely reputed for the highly effective, original multisensory teaching approaches and new teacher-training methods which our learning therapist-teachers and language specialists constantly revise and update. The Lewis School, our education component, provides pre-school through high-school/college-preparatory education.The Lewis School was created to retrieve and develop the potential of the student who has creative and academic promise, but who has been underserved in his/her routine mainstream education. Its staff of professionals works toward the vision of preparing capable students of all ages for higher achievement and productive lives. The Lewis Diagnostic Clinic functions as the diagnostic, speech, language and learning performance unit of the facility. Educational evaluations are provided on a fee-for-service basis by both school professionals and independent consultants who serve the clinic’s needs. The Lewis School and Diagnostic Clinic have developed an advanced, integrated system of education that replaces rote learning, memorization, and the teaching of “scatter skills” with individualized, multi-sensory processes and strategies that engage the many capacities and senses of the brain in the learning experience. Educational approaches and supporting teaching materials developed by The Lewis School have become the model for educators who need to help learning-different students. The school is consulted by clinicians who do research to explore the causes of learning-differences and the potential among learning different persons. The Lewis School and Diagnostic Clinic are committed to the education, advocacy, and advancement of learning-diverse persons.
