Carroll School is a private, coeducational day school with campuses in Lincoln, Waltham, and Wayland, Massachusetts, serving students in grades 1 through 9 with language-based learning differences such as dyslexia. Known for its highly specialized approach, Carroll combines research-backed methods like Orton-Gillingham instruction with small group teaching, assistive technology, and a deep focus on social-emotional growth. With a strong commitment to helping students build confidence, independence, and academic success, Carroll offers a supportive environment that fosters both skill development and personal discovery. The admissions process includes neuropsychological evaluations, academic records, parent and teacher input, student visits, and interviews.
