[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What grade? NPS has been wonderful in accommodating for some less commonly seen needs. [/quote]

We wanted to apply to NPS this year for our kid with mild dyslexia. Was told by admissions that they already had a couple of kids with special needs in the class and they couldn't accommodate any more. Since their class sizes are so small, it's hard to bring a new kid in with any kind of special needs.[/quote]

I am super surprised you were told this, but I admire their candor I guess. I hope you have found a great placement for your kid. At the same time, what OP is describing is dfferent from mild dyslexia which requires learning specialist support etc. So maybe OPs child could have been accomdated in that class. NPS actually came to mind when I read this post.[/quote]

I am not surprised as this happened to us at NPS. For a child who did not need any academic supports. Turns out ‘welcoming and inclusive’ is limited to certain kinds of students. [/quote]

Your child with mild dyslexia did not need any academic supports?[/quote]

Not PP, but similar experience and profile. Student did not require in-school academic supports. Did receive out of school supports and at home supports.[/quote]

Total opposite experience. Daughter needed support for social emotional, auditory processing/mild dyslexia - was very open and honest during admissions process.  Admitted for K. Had a fantastic experience.  Learning specialist are all trained in OG; I did not even need additional outside support.  Daughter is doing exceptionally well at Holton as a 7th grader.  I guess it really depends. I fell, if they thought they could accommodate your child, they would have.  NPS is very open to educating ALL children.[/quote]
