Welcome to Guilford Day School! I hope our website provides you with a comprehensive view of our school and helps you in your search for the best educational setting for your child.

At Guilford Day, students with learning disabilities are no longer different. They interact with others like themselves and find both academic and social success. Our class sizes are small and our curriculum is traditional, though infused with techniques and methodology proven to be successful with our students. We are committed to both the remediation of areas of weakness and the celebration of areas of strength. Thus, at Guilford Day, children are taught by reading specialists and special education teachers within their disability areas but have content area experts, trained in working with LD/ADD students, in science, social studies, art, drama, physical education, and various other elective classes.

We offer a college preparatory program that serves children in grades 1 through 12. Our goal is to transition students back to more traditional settings, if appropriate. If traditional school is not the best environment for a student, we ensure that their Guilford Day experience will provide the rigor, strategies, and self-advocacy skills necessary for successful transitioning to college, vocational-technical school, or the world of work.
