Cardinal Education is an independent educational consulting company. We are not affiliated, associated, authorized, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with any public or private school.
Our independent admissions consultants can guide you through The Southport School admissions process.
The Southport School is a private, coeducational day school in Southport, Connecticut, serving students in grades K through 8 with language-based learning differences such as dyslexia, ADHD, and executive functioning challenges. With a strong foundation in research-based instruction and the Science of Reading, Southport offers a supportive environment where students develop literacy, confidence, and self-advocacy skills. Class sizes are intentionally small, and every teacher is trained in evidence-based methodologies, including Orton-Gillingham instruction. The school also integrates social-emotional learning, executive function coaching, and assistive technology into daily routines. The admissions process includes academic records, psychoeducational evaluations, teacher recommendations, and a family visit and interview.
