Our independent admissions consultants know how to navigate the Learning Prep School admissions process.
Learning Prep School is a private, coeducational day school located in West Newton, Massachusetts, serving students in grades 5 through 12 with complex language-based learning disabilities, including dyslexia, auditory processing disorder, and executive function challenges. Known for its highly structured, language-rich environment and strong focus on social-emotional learning, Learning Prep provides a comprehensive, individualized education that equips students with the tools they need for academic and life success.
