Laurel - right by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab - for next summer
Hello DC Urban Moms and Dads,
My name is Frank Mills and I am the Executive Director of the Chelsea School in Hyattsville. I have been an employee of the school for the last 20 years, and I am very proud of the work that we do for students with learning differences. A little about our school:
- We are a small school (85 students max) for students who have been diagnosed with a specific learning disability (dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia), an attention deficit disorder, or an autism spectrum disorder requiring low support.
- Our largest class size is 8 students. Most classes are 5-6 students each.
- Literacy is at the core of our program, which uses the Orton Gillingham methodology for remediation. Every student in the school, grades 5-12, receives a daily 45-minute reading class taught by a reading specialist.
- We are a nonpublic school, which means we can accept both publicly-funded and private students.
- We follow the public school Common Core curriculum for all classes.
- All of our publicly-funded students have an IEP which drives our instructional programming.
- The curb appeal of our building isn't the best, but once inside, you'll discover a beautiful school with a positive culture and community spirit.
Our next Open House is Thursday, November 20th at 9:00 am. For more information, or if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me personally at fmills@chelseaschool.edu. You're also welcome to visit our website at www.chelseaschool.edu and our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ChelseaSchool

Hello DC Moms and Dads,
My name is Frank and I am the Head of School at the Chelsea School in Hyattsville. Chelsea is a school that serves students with language-based learning disabilities and ADHD in a college-preparatory setting in grades 5-12. Our school has been around for over 40 years, but we have only been in Hyattsville for the last 5. I started as a teacher at Chelsea 15 years ago, and I feel very lucky to come to work with people who I love every day.
I wanted to let this community know about an event that we have every year - our Walk-a-thon for Learning Differences. This event is an effort on our part to show the community what learning differences, dyslexia, and ADHD look like. Our kids are very proud to take part in this event, which is something that we encourage at our school. At Chelsea, learning differences are not taboo. Our kids can talk about their challenges and their strength in a way that is empowering.
If you are the parent of a child with a learning difference, I would encourage you to come to this event. We'll be walking from the school to Hyattsville MS at 9:00 am, then marching in the Hyattsville parade at 11 am, and finishing up at the Hyattsville Festival in Magruder Park.
For more information, please visit our website at www.chelseaschool.edu. And feel free to email me at fmills@chelseaschool.edu
Thanks!
