Educating Children Whose Potential Is
Greater Than Their Achievement
Walbridge is the only private day school in the State of Wisconsin dedicated to teaching children with learning disabilities in grades K through 8. Specializing in an individualized curriculum, Walbridge School targets the needs and interests of each student through:
- a very low student to teacher ratio ranging from four to eight students per class
- small school setting ensures that each child is a valued member of our learning community
- experienced teachers are specially trained in a variety of teaching strategies and adaptations
- on-site reading specialist
If you know a child who is bright but experiences ongoing struggles in school, Walbridge School might be an option to consider. The Walbridge program is designed specifically for students with learning disabilities (such as dyslexia and ADD/ADHD) as well those who experience difficulty with verbal/nonverbal processing, organization, and socialization. Supplementary services in tutoring, educational testing, after school programs, and summer school are also available for students who are not enrolled in our regular academic program.

We have an impressive 8:1 student-teacher ratio in core classes of math and language arts (reading and writing), while maintaining a very low ratio in other classes. We believe in teaching to the student and not to the test, as well as to their strengths and not their weaknesses. Every child has an individualized curriculum created to help him or her learn best.
