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.

New 9th Grade Transition Program

We are in the process of developing a 9th transition grade program for students who will be eligible to attend high school in the fall.  Walbridge School will provide on-site support and enrichment for our students who enroll in online classes through the Madison School District.  We're also working with neighboring districts so that students have the option of taking one or two additional classes at their local high schools.  If you would like to learn more about this program, please email us or give us a call. 

Amazing $25K Gift Match Challenge

Thank you for multiplying the impact of your gift to Walbridge School

A few months ago, the parents of former Walbridge School student, Kevin Broderick, announced a financial challenge to our extended community of supporters: they would match an unprecedented dollar-for-dollar gift from any contributor to our annual operations fund, up to $25,000.  This opportunity has enabled us to reach our fund-raising target goals for the year and ensure a stable financial picture as we move forward into our next fiscal year.  We want to thank the Broderick family for this amazing opportunity, as well as each of the individual contributors for their ongoing support of Walbridge School and its educational mission.
