The Winston School of Short Hills has turned around my child's academic life. Coming from a public school where her learning differences were considered a label, Winston has grown her confidence, self-advocacy, and resilience. Her reading fluency, math ability, and executive functioning have all significantly improved. And I cannot say enough about the teachers - they truly know and understand each student and adapt the curriculum to each child while still maintaining state- and grade-level standards. The small community allows each student to grow at their own pace and parent-teacher communication is strongly valued.
When the coronavirus began in March 2020, Winston was ahead of the curve - jumping into remote learning without a single hitch and not a single day missed. The students have continued to have lectures, small group discussions, assessments, science labs, even art & PE activities throughout the lockdown.
We 100% made the right decision to attend Winston.

If your child is experiencing difficulties in school due to a language-based learning disability, Winston is the place for them. Winston takes a multi-pronged approach to remediate dyslexia including OG-based classes, reading, language arts, public speaking, executive functioning assistance and more. They do not wait for children's reading to "catch up" while they learn--instead children receive a standard curriculum (I would say the science is even more rigorous) than a public school while their reading/writing is supported. Children who need the help also receive OT and/or PT. My child's reading and writing improved dramatically while at Winston. Most importantly, she felt valued as a person and believes she is capable to learn. Classes are small & the children receive a lot of attention and support. Winston is a wonderful school!
Winston has small classes and teachers who really care about their students. They have transitioned effectively and with structure for kids during the Covid-19 pandemic. More pleased now than ever with their programs.
Winston is a great school for students with language based learning differences. At Winston, the potential and optimism in each child is fostered. The school cultivates intellectual, social and emotional growth in a positive and stimulating environment.
