Pilot School
Region: Wilmington, DE
Known For: The Pilot School was established to provide customized, flexible curricula for children ages 5-14 with language-based learning differences. With a 5:1 student-to-teacher ratio, Pilot can address the unique learning profiles of each child in our program. We support students' struggles while amplifying their strengths. Beyond intellectual challenges and academic support, our students learn metacognitive practices essential for becoming self-aware, independent thinkers. Our graduates understand that their different ways of learning also mean they think differently, and this asset-oriented mindset drives them to remarkable success. While all children could benefit from our tailored educational approach, we specialize in serving those with Dyslexia (SLD in reading), Dysgraphia (SLD in writing), Dyscalculia (SLD in math), ADHD, Auditory Processing Disorder, Receptive and/or Expressive delays, Executive Functioning Deficits, and Sensory Integration Deficits. Students are grouped into Lower, Middle, and Upper Divisions based on their academic skills rather than strictly by age.
Age Range: Grades K-8 (and pre-K)
