To customize this school profile (and others), answer a few questions about your child’s needs.
Go to child profileThe London School offers personalized, alternative education recognizing that today’s learners must be capable of independent, flexible thinking in times of continuous change. The school has developed a unique approach in educating students who struggle with anxiety, stress and school refusal within a multidisciplinary framework that guides positive change. Small, collaborative, welcoming classes are the standard; courses are taught by subject specialists whose enthusiasm may further spark student engagement.
The London School doesn’t look like a typical school—it occupies a house in downtown London—and, in fact, it isn’t a typical school, which is why families turn here. The students arrive having demonstrated their skills and academic abilities, yet, for a range of reasons, aren’t reaching their potentials in a more traditional learning environment. Instruction is cooperative, allowing students to take responsibility for their learning in consort with their instructors. One of the goals is to motivate learners, and to help them find their own unique paths to success. The ideal student is one who will thrive within a very close-knit, student-oriented setting, and who is capable of operating at the top of his or her peer group.
