About Us
Clearway School
A small, private school in eastern Massachusetts where students with learning disabilities achieve academic and personal success.
Clearway School is a small, private, nonprofit day school for students in grades 7 to 12 with language-based learning disabilities, nonverbal learning disabilities, dyslexia, and other similar special needs. We accommodate a wide range of students who typically share a common theme of having difficult school experiences prior to coming to Clearway and the need for a small setting (c. 37 students).
​
Clearway shares a commitment to providing challenging academics and implementing Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. We have a number of specialized services that distinguish us from other programs:
​
• Small student to teacher ratios in all classes (typically 5:1)
• Trained Orton-Gillingham specialists to address reading and spelling
• Full-time speech and language pathologist who works directly in academic classes and who oversees pragmatic language curriculum
• Full-time transition counselor who guides upperclassmen in the transition process, supports students in dual-enrollment program at local community colleges, and leads work-study program, service learning, tours of post-graduate options, and transition groups
• Full-time school clinician who leads groups and serves as liaison to families and to support professionals that our students have in the community
• Weekly one-to-one meetings with educational counselors to facilitate educational progress, connection to the program, and understanding of student’s learning profile
