Academic Spotlights

Since Radcliffe Creek started over 25 years ago, the Orton-Gillingham approach continues to be a vital part in helping our students become successful readers. Teachers, who have been through extensive training in this approach, have devoted themselves to creating engaging and fun instruction while keeping each student’s individual strengths and needs in mind.

Language skills are the foundation for academic growth and success and they impact a child’s social interactions as well. Language difficulties can affect a child’s ability to acquire reading skills, express his or her knowledge in the classroom, participate in class discussions, follow directions, remember curricular material, as well as interact with peers and adults. 

Each student learns differently, especially one with a learning difference. That’s why all aspects of Radcliffe’s curriculum are taught in ways that incorporate the visual, auditory, kinetic, and tactile senses of each student, focusing on their strengths rather than their weaknesses with the purpose of teaching them how to learn using multiple senses.

Radcliffe Creek encourages the use of technology from an early age. The technology curriculum was specifically designed for students at Radcliffe Creek to integrate with a student’s technology needs across the curriculum – from Language Arts to Math.
