Academic Instruction

The Leary School programs maintain a strong emphasis on academic instruction and remediation. Classroom instruction is designed to capitalize upon the students' strengths while simultaneously offering remedial training and/or compensatory strategies for coping with deficiencies. Students learn at their own rate in a success-oriented environment. An Individualized Education Plan (IEP) is developed for each student in consultation with parents, classroom teacher, public school personnel and, whenever possible, the student.

Class size is limited to 10 students (nine students in Prince George's County) and is staffed by a certified and endorsed special education teacher and trained assistant. A wide variety of instructional methods and materials are used to motivate students and to insure successful school experiences.
