• Approach

  Lang uses a strengths-based, progressive approach grounded in evidence-based practices and research-backed instructional methods. They emphasize inquiry-driven learning, habit of mind development, growth mindset, and developing self-knowledge and problem-solving skills. The approach is both authentically rigorous and supportive, with collaborative teams (teachers, specialists, therapy teams) working to embed supports into classroom experiences and maximize carryover through ongoing assessment and progress monitoring.

• Admissions

  A comprehensive admissions process is conducted where Lang's internal team works with the family and may consult outside providers and previous schools to understand what services have worked and what additional needs exist. If necessary, additional assessments with the Occupational Therapy Team, Speech and Language Pathologists, or Learning Specialists are conducted prior to or at the start of the school year. An initial plan for services is determined and communicated to the family typically within the first month of school.
