The Jayne S. Carmody SchooL

The Jayne S. Carmody School at RCDS provides a unique educational program for children with language based learning differences. Serving students of average to above average intelligence who have been professionally diagnosed as having language-based learning differences, this program uses creative and innovative ways of developing each student's potential. These students attend. During their language-based classes, each student has a flexible, individualized program that is taught by experienced professionals.

Started in 2007 as the School Within A School or SWS, the program was a way to keep whole families together at RCDS by adapting the academic program to provide individualized instruction to students in language-based subjects such as literature and language arts. Math was also specialized to meet each student's needs, along with speech and occupational therapy. Yet, these students were not isolated; they received the full RCDS experience, some transitioning out of the program as their skills and abilities advanced.

The program continued to grow stronger over the next seven years, and in 2015 was renamed The Jayne S. Carmody School at RCDS or The Carmody School. Please contact our Admissions Office to learn more about the program.
