The Winston School

The Winston School is a private school which serves students with learning differences such as dyslexia, dysgraphia and attention deficits in grades 1-12. It is not affiliated with any religious organization. The school was established in 1988 and is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. There is one location, at the above address. "We are entirely a school for learning differences," says Headmaster Mark D. Kimball. "We offer a broad, multi sensory curriculum. Classes are small. The ratio of students to teachers in core academic courses is 7:1. When necessary, language therapy is offered one-to-one."

The 50 faculty members at Winston have degrees and specialties ranging from counseling and speech and language to special education and single subject credentials. There is a well-equipped computer room and many students have adaptive technology provided for in their IEP's. Although the school has no library on campus, there are two public libraries in Del Mar, one within walking distance of the school.

Winston works with families individually to develop plans which help students make the transition back into the public school system or into post-secondary education. Programs such as Work Ability and extensive college counseling often are part of this process. The school has a parent organization which sponsors information evenings, school events and fundraisers throughout the year.
