Welcome!
Pinnacle School
is an independent, nonprofit
school that serves students in grades
K-12. Our
program is based on proven approaches in education. Students participate
in a motivating curriculum with excellent teachers to develop both the
tools to learn and confidence in their own abilities. Class sizes are
limited to twelve students. In Fall 2012, we moved into a
7-acre campus with dedicated facilities for our main school, our
Innovation Center, MindSCAPES, and the Pinnacle Testing Center.
Our
students are bright and learn best by
doing, listening, and thinking.
We
specialize in teaching students with dyslexia, dysgraphia,
ADD, ADHD, Asperger's, and similar information processing differences.
Some students enroll
because of challenges with reading, writing, and spelling; others may
have experienced difficulties with comprehension, math, organizing
information, or following sequences of directions.
The curriculum stresses academics while incorporating creativity and
problem solving strategies. We teach reading, language, writing,
spelling,
math, social studies, and science, along with classes in drama,
communication, cooking, technology, music, and art. Pinnacle is
accredited. Programs are
aligned with the Indiana curriculum proficiencies and the
recommendations of national education associations.
Admission
to Pinnacle is based on a variety of criteria, including ability and
interest in learning, samples of school work, a family interview, the
results of evaluative screenings, and a student’s potential to benefit
from our curriculum and learning environment. There are limited
openings annually; students are also admitted during the year as space
permits.
At Pinnacle, students are encouraged to achieve their personal best in
and out of the classroom. We prepare students for the future by
focusing on academics together with the development of leadership
skills, team work, and self-assurance. Students also have the
opportunity to participate in student government, philanthropy, and
after school activities to help build their individual skills,
strengths, and talents.
