Mission

Chartwell empowers students with dyslexia and associated learning differences to unlock their full potential. We provide a college preparatory, strength-based program that gives students the skills, strategies, tools, and mindset needed to become successful lifelong learners. We share our expertise through partnerships and outreach initiatives to transform education

The Big Idea

It is estimated that one-in-five children struggle with learning-based language differences which translates to higher drop-out rates at the secondary school level and a greater risk of entering the criminal justice system. Chartwell’s need-based financial aid program provides access and opportunity for children from under-served populations who have fewer resources available.

Here's my perspective as we are almost a month in. What I am seeing is much more than what my child is telling me. I see a kid that has to get up way earlier in the morning, but with no argument. I see a kid coming home from school after a long commute, but with a mostly relaxed demeanor and a general positive outlook. I see a glimpse of confidence and I do not see the weight of anxiousness that he used to carry throughout the day. Thank you and your team for loving and supporting him.
