We are blessed to have found The Gow School. Our son was diagnosed with language based learning disabilities at the age of 6. We spent years of tutoring, enrollment in private reading programs, dealing with an IEP in the public school, etc. and although he made gains, he lagged behind his peers in the public school setting despite being a smart kid. We heard about Gow from friends and sent him to the summer program when he was 11. He came home excited to tell us that "they actually teach you there". After 2 years of experiencing the gains he made in the summer program, we realized that the best chance he had of reaching his potential would be sending him to Gow for 8th grade and high school. So far, so good! He came home at fall break more confident, enthusiastic about his grades and motivated to go back after a week off. He participates in student government and sports - things he was not encouraged to do at his suburban public school. Although, sending a 13 year old to boarding school was initially a difficult decision, it tuned out to be the best decision we have ever made for our son.
