The GAP School announces the opening of its 3rd Year

The GAP School, a fast growing Sarasota intervention school for students ages 5-16, now offers the community a more organized approach to closing the gap to help students who struggle with their learning reach their goals.

The GAP School offers a different concept for the learning disability community, which was developed by Amy F. Weinberger, CEO/President, with the goal of closing a gap for kids academically, socially, emotionally and cognitively in a one year or multi-year plan. “The ultimate goal is to place a student in the school of the family’s choice after their intervention goals have been met,” says Weinberger.

The GAP School offers the best of both worlds by offering the advantages of outcome-based learning with the ability to provide a highly customizable intervention plans that meets the unique needs of each student.

The highlights of the program for the 2006-2007 school year are as follows: a science-based curriculum for hands-on learning that integrates directly with reading, drama, language and math, daily social skills training, motivation system, personal fitness including tai chi, yoga, group occupational therapy classes, an intensive dance program, Friday Academies with emphasis on student's strengths, monthly Team Success program and small class sizes - 8:1.

According to Ms. Lori Stephens, M.A., the Gap School Director, "We are reorganized with a talented staff, support group, excited students and  an enthusiastic board of directors. We are pleased to begin our 3rd year in Sarasota and look forward to being able to prepare students to get back to the schools of their choice the following year or in a couple of years."
