The Greenwood School
The Greenwood School is a specialized boarding and day school for boys in grades 6 through 12. It was established in 1978 by Thomas and Andrea Scheidler to educate students who needed tutorial help in order to master rote learning skills. The school is situated on a 100 acre (40 ha) campus outside Putney, Vermont, 12 miles (19 km) north of Brattleboro in the south eastern part of the state. The Greenwood School is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges and is approved by the state of Vermont and is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools.
One major stated objective of the Greenwood School is to maximize the academic potential of boys with learning difficulties. Greenwood serves boys with language-based learning deficits, including dyslexia, math deficits, writing deficits, comprehension deficits, memory and processing weaknesses, ADD/ADHD, Executive Function deficits, and difficulty reading social cues. Another stated goal is to help these boys discover and develop their talents in many non-academic areas including art, music, sports, wood- and metal-working, drama, community service, and leadership.
==History==
The Greenwood School was founded in May 1978 by Thomas and Andrea Scheidler to carry on their ground breaking work in the field of education for children diagnosed with learning disabilities. The Scheidlers viewed their students as uniquely gifted with right brain skills and designed a curriculum to serve their needs. With the support of a group of parents, educators and other professionals in the field of dyslexia, the Schiedlers formed a non-profit institution. They rented, and eventually purchased a campus in Putney, Vermont. Tom and Andrea were opposed to the medicalization of what they saw as a "brain difference". They believed that the education of children with dyslexia and attention difficulties was best addressed by teaching to their strengths. Tom Scheidler's background was in psychology, Andrea's in education. Together they designed a curriculum that taught needed academic skills, but embedded those skills in a much larger program that stimulated and advanced students' knowledge and recognized their inborn strengths. A major feature of their approach was to make art and the spoken word a part of the core curriculum.
