The school teaches students from first through twelfth grades who have moderate to high-level learning differences and average or above average I.Q. levels. These students can have challenges with reading, writing, spelling, and math as well as moderate executive functioning issues. Many of the academic subjects are taught through an arts-based curriculum, whether through the performing arts, dramatic arts, or visual arts, but there is also traditional work with textbooks and worksheets. In addition, all class sizes are smaller than those in public schools and in most private schools and are scaled according to the subject; this enables the teacher(s) to prepare lesson plans in order to meet the students’ academic learning styles and needs. More than 84 percent of Lab teachers have advanced degrees.
