Who we serve
The Raskob Day School is appropriate for students who have average to above average academic potential, but are underachieving at their current schools. Raskob serves students in elementary through middle school, serving 2nd through 8th grades. Committed to the academic, social and emotional well-being of our students, Raskob encourages the development of strengths and talents while providing instructional interventions for academic areas of weakness. The Raskob Day School program is designed to meet the needs of the learning disabled student through a highly individualized academic program that incorporates one-on-one instruction and small group experience. As a result, Raskob’s curriculum operates on multiple levels from remedial to advanced. Raskob is committed to the development of self-directed learners who understand their disability and how it impacts them in a variety of settings. Raskob encourages applications and admits students from all racial, ethnic, and religious backgrounds.
