Cove School gives students with learning disabilities education they deserve The Cove School provides highly individualized education and life strategies for students with complex learning disabilities. For over 70 years, Cove has believed that every child, given the appropriate support, accommodations and time, has the potential to learn, grow and flourish. The Cove School has changed lives and built futures for countless students and their families. A private K–12 day school in Northbrook, Cove is a national leader in learning disability education, a special education center approved by ISBE to serve students with Learning Disabilities, Speech and Language Disabilities, Other Health Impaired (OHI), Emotional Disabilities and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Cove’s dual purpose is to provide students with customized learning strategies to complete an academic curriculum and to facilitate the development of their social, emotional and selfadvocacy skills. This approach creates a space for students to build the self-confidence necessary to make a successful transition to their community schools or to make post-secondary choices. While serving nearly 170 students from over 50 school districts each year, Cove limits class sizes to no more than 10 students per class. Cove’s 118 staff members range from unit-level teachers to clinical support-minded specialists, such as speech and language pathologists, social workers, reading teachers, occupational therapists and more. At all unit levels, Cove provides individualized “whole child” education, implementing robust programs in STEAM, art, music, drama, PE, transition services and more. In the classroom, Cove integrates cuttingedge research into every aspect of its instructional methods, including: A school-wide executivefunctioning curriculum, embracing the development, growth and utilization of students’ E.F. skills. Orton-Gillingham, a proven multi-sensory approach to reading, incorporated into every reading lesson. Neurobiological understandings of core cognitive processes, matching methodologies to each student’s learning attributes. Cove parents, teachers and specialists work hand-in-hand to ensure the best possible educational plans for students. When students arrive at Cove, they immediately feel the difference that comes from a nurturing, supportive setting. They feel safe yet challenged to reach their fullest potential, and they often make new friends, establishing the social relationships that are so important in life. Furthermore, students at Cove receive direct support to make and maintain those authentic peer relationships. Cove’s cutting-edge instructional methodologies, including classroom ability-grouping, allow students to feel at home within a learning environment. With over twenty-five after school activities, monthly social events and limited class sizes, Cove gives students the opportunity to find the community meant for them. If you know a child who could benefit from an enhanced learning atmosphere, we invite you to explore our website, coveschool. org, and visit our school for an in-depth personal tour. We look forward to sharing our vision for a world where every child finds the tools they need to adapt, to learn and to grow.

22ndCenturyMedia.com private school Guide 22nd century media | august 8, 2019 | 3 The Goddard School offers best childhood preparation for success in North Shore For over 30 years, The Goddard School has been a trusted name among parents and families. Its classrooms are safe, nurturing environments for children six weeks to 6 years, offering age-appropriate opportunities to explore and discover. From infants to toddlers, preschoolers to pre-kindergarteners, highly trained teachers lead each child to reach developmental milestones, preparing the children for social and academic success. At The Goddard School located in Skokie, the on-site owners, Andrew and Mary Fratini, work to make sure every family enjoys a warm, positive experience. They strive to provide the best quality program for each child year-round, offering full-time and part-time schedules with open enrollment. The F.L.EX. Learning Program ensures that they meet high standards specific to early learning, development and care. The F.L.EX. Learning Program (Fun Learning Experience) is grounded in research on how children learn best: Children experience the deepest, most genuine learning when they are having fun. It’s designed to help build each child’s emotional, academic, social, creative and physical skills — including 21stcentury skills such as communication, collaboration, creativity and critical thinking — to provide a well-rounded experience and help each one become school-ready, career-ready and life-ready. Twenty-first century skills also tie in directly with STEAM learning (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics). Introducing these subjects early on helps promote children’s natural curiosity in them, increasing the chance that children will pursue STEAM-related careers later on in life. “Supporting STEAM learning at the preschool level involves identifying activities children naturally do for opportunities to further guide them,” Andrew said. “When children solve puzzles or play with blocks, they create pathways in their brains that help with more advanced STEAM skills later on.” The preschool and pre-kindergarten classrooms integrate this play-based learning philosophy into their lesson plans. In the preschool classroom, children use a variety of interesting, hands-on learning and reading materials to make play more complex and challenging. Their play also becomes more social and cooperative as they build their social skills, make friends and learn to collaborate. Children continue their journey of exploration and discovery in the pre-kindergarten classroom. Teachers help them apply their developing literacy and math skills through fun, purposeful learning experiences. Play-based learning is so effective that the results of a recent review by the Children’s Progress Academic Assessment (CPAA) show that Goddard School students score 45% higher on mathematics and literacy assessments compared to non- Goddard peers. CPAA is an early childhood assessment system that assists teachers in making informed and individualized instructional decisions.
