Mission Statement

The Craig School serves students whose learning, attention, and regulation needs are not well met in traditional classroom settings. Many of our students are capable, curious learners who struggle not because of ability, but because the environment around them was not designed for how they learn and engage. Our mission is to provide a full academic education within a structured, research-informed school environment that supports both learning and development over time. We integrate strong academics with executive functioning, behavioral, and social-emotional support so students can focus on learning rather than managing stress or repeated failure. The Craig School is intentionally designed from the ground up. Our classrooms, staffing model, daily routines, and physical environment work together to reduce barriers to learning and build confidence, self-awareness, and independence. Our work is powered by SOL, the Science of Learning Lab, which ensures that classroom practices are informed by research, observation, and real-world data. As a nonprofit school, we partner closely with families and remain focused on long-term impact, thoughtful growth, and meaningful outcomes for students.
